Dear Albert:

Re: sweet spot

This is why I included the sentences about below normal yields. If the lower half are good but unsalable (this is because the cost of packaging them is greater than the amount received or some marketing problem), it would show up in the quantities in the bins that are shown (it helps to have three or more bins) because you could match them with the standard Gaussian (Normal) distribution curve. This would tell you the real sweet spot even, if it is not salable.

If the missing CPUs are due to below normal yield, I gave you the way to handle those. This is what some of us suspected wrt P3. That many die were produced, but not many made it into systems. Thus, either the yield was bad (and by my definition this includes packaging problems and any other post dicing losses (Elmer and I have had arguments on this point)) or the speed distribution was causing unsalable CPUs in droves.
