Intel confirms it has not downgraded SSD components after launch

Posted: 31 Aug 2021 02:44 PM PDT

From the bottom of a new ExtremeTech article posted today:

Not much else is clear about the larger market right now. We do not currently have a full understanding of which products may have been affected from various manufacturers beyond the P2 (Crucial), SN550 (WD), and 970 EVO Plus (Samsung). Intel is currently the one manufacturer that has told us it does not and has never engaged in this practice.

The two companies we have had conversations with, WD and Crucial, have both indicated a desire to improve the current situation. We'll see what comes of it. The current status quo is unacceptably confusing for all concerned.

How do manufacturers bin chips?

Posted: 31 Aug 2021 06:31 PM PDT

I'm sure that Intel doesn't build what we would call a PC to determine if each Rocket Lake die becomes an i7-11700K or i9-11900K, nor AMD to determine if each Zen 2 die becomes a Ryzen 7 3800X or Ryzen 7 3700X, nor NVIDIA to determine if each GA104 die becomes a 3060 Ti or 3070 before it's even on a PCB.

So, I'm curious about how the process actually works. What kind of machinery do they use? What's the testing process? How can they quickly and efficiently tell what clock speed a chip is stable at or how many cores are functioning?
