does anyone know the proper procedure that these giant corporations(Intel, AMD) go through in deciding which processor is released and how many of them at a time are manufactured? for example, does Intel have a certain percentage of processors that HAVE to yeild at a certain speed before they are released. if not, then what happens, do they underclock them and sell them as less than what was expected? lets say the processor was supposed to yeild at 2.8ghz stable. they produce 1000 CPUs and only 85% of them actually run at 2.8ghz. the other 15% run stable at 2.6ghz. would they actually underclock the CPU and sell it at 2.53?
is there a percentage of processors NEEDED to run at a given speed to mass produce that CPU? and if so, then how many would be produced at that given speed? how exactly is the "yeild" found?
