Elmer,

Re: " ... but the term "First Silicon" is well understood to mean the first version
of the full design."

YES, this is CORRECT when applied to a specific design (like, say DasHumper).
AMD also would have a process development vehicle like an SRAM along
with device reliability physics structures. Then as you point out Elmer, there
is a very good likelihood that there were also additional test chips to
qualify IP and perhaps for package qualification.

Make It So,
Yousef
