New Formula One Overclocking Competition Announced

[K404]

As I said, and please ready it CAREFULLY, "sorting chips in a Fab that produce millions of Chips is not as easy as doing it in a fab producing thousands ... adding a stage in the fab to do so would be too costly".
This is not something that is possible to do without having serious inpact on the latency of a Fab.

You might be slightly misunderstanding how we would like to see chips binned. It doesnt have to be Intel staff who bin them- as you say the time needed wouldnt be well-spent for the benefit.

Im sure there are some people in the enthusiast circle who (maybe for a price?) would be willing to roughly bin the chips if Intel supplied a few trays. They dont have to be special competition-marked chips, tweaked architecture, ES or anything like that- just trays of retail chips that are to be sorted as worthy of competition status or not.

It will for sure remove the chips with crap memory controllers or worthless BCLK ceilings.

Intel dont have to be so hands-on here. Supplying the chips at all would get mass gratitude and you're seen supporting the scene.

Things dont have to be so difficult- simple is good

On a completely different note.

IF the participants are expected to put their hands in their pockets to buy the right gear for this and are kicking out scores on a par or EVEN BETTER than whats being produced in the competiton then

A/ who is it for anyone to say they arent worthy of being in the competition. They've bought into it, that should make it a free for all

Which

B/ makes the competition pointless. Its HWB with more spotlights (as I said before) and an elitist air to it
