    Are you serious? It is the same chip but they purposely damage it to inflate prices of the unbroken chip. OMG that is insane. Corporate America will do anything for a dollar. That makes me want to vomit.


    how vital enterprise application are for proactive organizations leveraging collective synergy to think outside the box and formulate their key objectives into a win-win game plan with a quality-driven approach that focuses on empowering key players to drive-up their core competencies and increase expectations with an all-around initiative to drive up the bottom-line. But of course, that's all a "high level" overview of things --thedailywtf 3/21/06

    I think they use chips that have defects in part of their L2 cache. Selling them as a lower-end model is better than throwing them away.

      I've never heard that about amd chips, but I know intel did it at various points with 486SX, and no cache celerons. In both cases they started out selling chips with a defective module at a discount and demand for the lowcost part ended up outstripping the suppy of defects.
