Elmer,
RE:"You missed the point. Maybe it does yield well, for a 184mm2 chip, but
that's poor compared to a smaller one. Good is still bad"...

No I didn't, I know well that the bigger the die the more loss around the wafer edges. Even at a cost of $100 a chip...profits can be good if they are high end/high selling price chips...
If with a big die...good is still better than bad.
