They are releasing some of the parts as 1.4GHz Opterons.

As I said, hopefully not. The process should have improved within six month.

but there's nothing to suggest it's a particularly narrow range, when the output is being used in parts that range from 1.4GHz to 2.2 GHz, right?

No, not right. And yes, there is something to suggest it is indeed a narrower range than what you predict:
1. A learning curve for the industry.
2. Yield management systems to control process parameters tough enough to expect bins with low standard variations.
