They are 2 different CPU's.
That is what I thought but did not want to leave out any options. Can you think of any others?As of now, there are 4 other Core i5s besides the 750.. There's the 650, 660, 661, and 670.... Whether you can actually buy them at this time, I don't know.

75 % end up rated at high speeds and 25 % (approx) are rated at lower speeds.

I'd like to clarify this a little.. When a manufacturer initially makes any CPU, the process is not perfected. As they build more and more of any particular CHIP, the process gets better, and the "yield" (from the WAFER) of higher-rated CPUs goes up. The "75%" yield of faster chips is an approximation by Scott Mueller..The fact is that no one knows what the yield truly is except for the manufacturer. If other manufacturers knew what the yields were for other manufacturers, they could advance in the market in some fashion. At this point, the I5/i7s may not have yield as high as 75%








Interesting.

That is true and that is why I said, "publicly available." Also those CPUs are all dual core with hypertreading so I am still wondering what is happening with the "lower speed" i5-750s? According to CPU-Z my CPU is revision B1. I will look that up to see if anyone else has had any luck OCing them.Quote

I didn't realize those were dual cores...sorry Perhaps Intel isn't far along enough yet to remark there faster CPUs...after all the i5 was just released.. Maybe we'll see the faster one's remarked later on, when the sales drop and they aren't selling as many...
