Basically you're claiming that Intel downbins Woodcrest. I seriously doubt that that is the case, Intel would be much better off selling CPU's at a higher speed, if only to show that they're the performance leader again. If Intel sells 1.6 and 1.86 GHz Woodcrests, it's because they have enough dies that are functionally ok, but can't be run at a higher clock. Besides, it remains to be seen how competitive those parts are compared to the low end of the Opteron line (which starts only at 1.8Ghz for the dual cores)
