As for million dollar... I'd argue it's multi billion dollar question lol, test time makes up for 1/3rd of the cost of a chip. You try to test as much of the chip in as little time as possible, but test escapes are unavoidable.
yip your right about the billion doller question lol
thanks for that i wish i had the balls to push my cpu to 4.5 ghz i have an i7 920 d0 1.125volts bios @3.5ghz and it can go to about 70c max but about 65c when crunching
i dont want to push my luck cant really replace it at the mo lol
