Not talking about binning, but getting previous generation of core in your "new" CPU.
>Go buy 1000 5% resistors and test them. Instead of a normal distribution of tolerances, you'll find that there's an interesting trough around -2% to +2%.
EEVBLog tested the 1% ones and it had gaussian https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WAhTdWErrU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WAhTdWErrU which means it couldn't really be 5% but binned
Also 5% are usually carbon while 1% are metal film so no, try again.
- dschuler 4y agoThe top comment in the video mentions someone's experience with resistor binning with a batch of 10% resistors having no samples under 5%. Anyway, the resistors binned for tighter tolerances aren't going to have to have a trough in the center of the distribution - they'll have cutoffs on either side. Binnig can be repeated for any tolerance desired, so carbon vs metal film doesn't have anything to do with it.
