AMD is now four speed bins (300, 333, 350 & 400) behind Intel.

Earth to Yousef. Only one speed bin (300) since 333mhz is a piece of over-priced crap running 66mhz bus. 350 and 400 are too expensive that only the fools will buy them. By the time people can afford these, AMD will have 350s. Yeah, Intel probably will have 450 by then but it is beyond the anyone can afford. It is like selling a vacation package to working men to Pluto at zillion dollars each. You may disagree with me but real people like to keep their greenbacks closer to the wallet.

Yousef,
Re -- Looks like AMD is now four speed bins (300, 333, 350 & 400) behind Intel

I'd say 6 speed bins. Because AMD has only managed the 233's in volume. The 266 is still in the "tens of thousands" at the SDC facility (until announced otherwise).

That makes it (233, 266,300,333,350,400) speed bins behind!!!!
