Unhappy about the prospect of CPU binning by OC.UK

[RAGEdemon]

As much as I would like to see this, the unfortunate consequence will be that since all the best chips have been binned into a premium pile, everyone buying a standard chip will always lose the silicon lottery.

It is not fair to all other customers.

Unless perhaps every remaining CPU is then sold at stock price minus the premium on the binned chips, which I don't see happening.

I don't see binning as a good business decision as there is too much collateral damage. I would think twice between purchasing any standard non-binned CPUs from OC.UK.

On the other hand, if there are single (non bundle) binned chips being sold at a little premium, perhaps even with delid+liquid metal, then I would be interested in their purchase.

Thoughts?

@StarShock

Thanks, that makes sense.

Indeed, I do understand now. If not planned already, you might want to put this as a disclaimer in a prominent position.

What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

I came up with it as a stupid teenager. All my old friends still call me 'rage' even now that I am in my 30's (and perhaps just as stupid)

I am selling a single speaker on ebay. The terms SINGLE SPEAKER and COLLECTION ONLY are mentioned at multiple places. Every once in a while, someone asks me if I can deliver the PAIR of speakers to xxx.

Why these idiots send a message before reading the listing, I don't know. It's in the bloody title!

I think it may be the extension of real life, where a section of people tend to open their loud mouths to yap yap yap before thinking. I can't understand how this sub-sect of the population goes through life in this manner.

I might be a stupid guy, but I'm the sort to think twice before opening my mouth or asking a question, as I am sure is the same for most people.
