Processor Binning Explained.

Consider a situation in which you have made two identical CPUs but one of them is capable of overlook higher than other. How this happens? You have just made two processors which are identical, but how one of them is capable of higher clock speeds. If you are confused now then answer to this situation is known as "Processor Binning".

"A processor binning is a process in which a processor is tested accurately to make sure that they can run flawlessly at their given clock speeds and separated during this testing inaccordance with their different thresholds known as bins".

The differences in thresholds are mainly come due to the silicon and material quality which are used for making chips.

The processors are separated into bins commonly depending upon their thresholds. These bins are known as normal bins, medium bins and high bins. The CPUs which are binned highly are usually reserved for high end devices and server level CPUs. The medium binned CPUs are usually reserved for mid range devices and normal binned CPUs are usually reserved for normal devices. These high binned CPUs are good overclockers as the higher they are binned the higher they can be over clocked. Also they can tolerate high amount of heat.

If you are looking for a good example of the higher binned CPUs, then the Intel's Xeon chips are the good example of it. These Xeon chips are the server grade CPUs and can run flawlessly 24×7 without stopping for a long period of time. The server grade CPUs are the best high binned CPUs for consumers.
