AMD is doing what most smart companies are doing. Call it maximizing product or productivity increases. It comes down to using as much as produced as you can and I see no problem with that. You get the tech you want at the lowest price of all performance chips out there. The company recovers the cost of expensive silicon and processes. We use to watch houses being built. Workers would cut a 5 foot piece of sheetrock or plywood and throw out or burn the other 3 feet. Why waste so much material? The salvage business is one huge business today and some are the only companies still holding up. If AMD can pick out the chips with good NB and cache that have 2 or 3 cores operable then more power to them.
This argument has come up too many times. Pick One!
Neha is quite different and it may not run with a lame core.
Intel either wastes a lot or they are unable to.
Lamed Nehas are being sold to companies or countries as duals and not saying what process they are.
They make great clay pigeons "Pull"
Yeah you are right. I have no idea what Intel does with broken Nehalems or if they are even salvagable, if they aren't, then AMD has a much smarter design economically.
