Hmmmmmmm...maybe that's why IBM's Lightning 486 and PowerPC programs have been less than successful !! Yes, remember how the computer world cowered at the thought of the combined genius of IBM, Moto and Apple designing the PPC? Obviously no one else stood a chance. What a turd that turned out to be. We need to get over the same notion about IBM's manufacturing ability. It is equivalent to a typical ASIC house. Just how bad are their yields? I'm not at liberty to provide details but based on yields and DPM, Intel would have shut down their fab until the problem was identified and corrected. IBM doesn't even know there's a problem and maybe for their baseline there isn't. You can disguise the answer with a number between 0 and 100 ! It wouldn't mean much because as you know, it's somewhat of a logarithmic scale based on die size and defect density. EP
