Int*rn: So, how do you go about binning the top end cards?
R***: Binning? *snigger*
J*: LOL
Int*rn: Yeah, I guess you have to sort out the higher ASIC chips and then test those?
R***: Oh, sure...err... ASIC sure...
Int*rn: And you have to individually then test those over a range of programs? must take some time?
R***: LOL
J*: LOL
Int*rn: Sorry, am I missing something?
R***: Listen, Maxwell is a mature process right?
Int*rn: Yeah...I guess so...and...?
J*: So, pretty much every chip off the line is going to do 1400 to 1500 on the core.
Int*rn: Really?
R***: Yep!
Int*rn: So the whole binning thing? *speechmark hands*
R***+J*: YEP! *wink*
Int*rn: But... surely if you say you select chips you have to?...
R***: Look at the beginning we take 10 or 15 chips and test them...the worst one does say 1266 base 1367 boost....BINGO....there's your binning...
Int*rn: Oh Chri*t, I get you...so it's just...ha ha cool...
