How many Opterons are binned out of an Athlon tray? How many chips
make the Opteron cut?
Because Opteron 165, 170, 175 and 180 are just the best chips tested
from a batch of (potential) Athlon X2s, out of one tray (or wafer),
what is the breakdown of how many chips become binned/selected as what?
(?) Opteron 1xx
(?) Athlon X2 w/1MB cache
(?) Athlon X2 w/512kb cache
(?) Dead / Dud / Keychain / Useless / No Good / Garbage / No Mas / Der
Krappen
Or, do Opteron 939s come from the worst of a batch of Opteron 940s,
simply having their memory register pin clipped? Hmmm?
