Are the non binned Intel CPUs the dregs of the silicon lottery ??

Just wondering on the merits of buying a non binned 79XX CPU and taking my chances on the silicon lottery.

Question is though, does 8 Pack try all the 79XX chips for binning, keeps the good ones and sends the dregs back to be sold as "non binned". Essentially skimming off the cream so reducing or eliminating your chances of getting a good clocking " non binned " CPU.

Anyone know ??
 
Thanks

just found a load of threads about this subject.

Would probably buy a retail cpu from somewhere that doesn't bin them.
