Cool, re:...I meant sq. mils per side...

Wellll, OK. That's not what you wrote in your first post. Of course, since "sq. mils" is an area, "sq. mils per side" makes no sense either (at least not in this universe).

But lets just assume that "200 mils/side" is what you really meant (on manual recount). That's 5.1 mm/side - a 26 mm^2 die. So one gets about 2720 candidate die on a 200 mm wafer.

Actually, this starts to make more sense, since you only assume 1000 good die out which represents a 36% yield - perhaps a reasonable assumption for at this die size and AMD's ISOs.

Still a slight problem - its been a VERY LONG time since someone could get $90 for a 0.2 inch (on a side) chip, which is what you are now talking about.
