Re: "For example, on Intel 0.25um process if you get 25% 400MHz and with a known sigma you can calculate the % of 350MHz and % of 450MHz. I suspect Intel 6 sigma is about 100MHz since they get anything from 300MHz to 400MHz on their 0.25um process" Maxwell, I suspect that Intel does not run outside 3 sigma on their speed distribution, maybe less. The fact that they sell 333-450mhz (not 400 as you stated) parts from their .25u process does not necessarily mean the distribution is that broad, only that they may be strapping the lower speed parts to prevent them from running faster. I too hope that Yousef will fill us in. EP
