Intel screws high end users yet again.

"Intel screws high end users yet again."

It looks like that. Half dead chips are sold too, for long time now, remember celeron 2 - coppermine and P III ?
If PIII with L2 256Bk cache was broken then they sell it as celeron with half enabled cache 128Kb.
For that kind of money chips arent worth, but there is factory problem, intel cant make 100% chips working 100%, so they sell stuff, as long is ok to ppl

Usaly full versions of chips cost alot, like 40% more then it suppost to.
Broken chips cost 40% less then original 100% working.
In anyway intel still earns some $$
