Andreas (via milo) - Wafers: Currently 800 per week, ca. 200 CPUs per wafer - Thunderbird: Production at 1,5 GHz(!) since April in limited quantities, since May in normal quantities. Official introduction on June, 5th at Dredsen on a big press-event. The 1,5 GHz Thunderbird has already be sold to major OEMs. Samples of Thunderbirds > 1,5 GHz were also already produced. - Sledgehammer: First production-samples are expected at year's end at 130nm. Starting frequency will be over 1,5 GHz. - Yiels: Currently ca. 70% at 1,5 GHz(!). Because of these high yields Motorola has made AMD an offer to produce G4s for Apple in Dresden but AMD expects the fab to be 100% utilized for Athlons processors The news is like the best case scenario that I expected, except about 20% higher, in just about every respect. Wafers: I don't think anybody will be arguing with this. Going from 600 to 800 from early April to late may is very credible 200 CPU per wafer: That's better than most of us expected. Most of the calculations I have seen here extimated 100 to 150 CPU per wafer. Thunderbird at 1,5 GHz: Michael Kannelos on News.com predicted Thunderbird of up to 1.25 GHz at introduction. This is again about 20% better. Sledgehammer samples by year end I don't think anybody expected samples before the end of Q1 2001 the earliest 130nm samples in Q4 2001: Again at lieast 1 quarter ahead of expectations. 70% yields: This is fantastic! I think the best guess has been 50 to 60%. Joe
