yeah, but prices would go up for both sides - the procs aren't sorted during manufacturing, and they'd have to be all be individually tested to certain specs for both performance and thermal output, and from there be sorted based upon their final standings.
Now, I can understand such sorting when it comes to physcial components - we see it a lot with MEM manufacturers and otherwise . . . but look at how much higher their products are that utilize "sorted" components compared to their run of the mill stuff.
If Intel or AMD sorted their produced CPUs like that, I'd swear that the cost we pay would be through the roof.
