Re: "Clawhammer is to be 5% larger than Athlon. Which makes P4 217/125 times the size of Clawhammer. Yields go down as die size goes up so I would make a rough estimate that a die about 1 and 3/4 times larger would yield about half as many parts per wafer or double the manufacturing cost. It's a rough estimate, but I think it's a fairly robust one. What do you think?" I thought Mustang was the large cache version. Am I wrong? If it is it's a lot more than 5% larger and furthermore your assumption about die size and manufacturing cost only holds if both are on the same process. The low output of Athlons from AMD's large fabs strongly suggests AMD's yields stink so no comparison can be made between the two companies manufacturing costs based on die size. EP
