Elmer,

Your constrained use of the word "yield" continues to defy my understanding. Designers use the word to yield to represent the speed distribution and functionality of the manufacturing.

i.e. "Athlon is yielding 30% at 1GHz, 40% at 900MHz, 20% at 800MHz, 10% non-functional".

This provides far more information than "PIII is yielding 90%", because most of the PIII parts are too slow to sell (except as jewelry.)
