<Can anyone familiar with the history of K62/K63 confirm the local interconnect as being the main yield detractor and whether or not AMD did, in fact, abandon it in the K7 design?>

K7 is 22 million transistors squeezed in 180 mm2. Pentium III is 9.5 million transistors in 140 mm2. Judging from this alone, my guess would be that AMD is still using local interconnect for K7, at least on the 0.25 micron process.

I don't know whether LI was the main detractor of K6-x yields, though.
