If you ask me, that is a phenomenal yield! >Since that time, MAD has taken 2 1/2 years to ramp to full production by the end of 2001, and were only able to produce 4 million CPUs on 4000 to 5000 wafer starts/quarter during that last quarter of 2001.< 4 million CPUs on 4000 to 5000 wafer starts would be between 800 and 1000 CPUs per wafer, which is extraordinary yield for only 200 candidate CPUs per wafer. Perhaps you meant 4000 to 5000 wafer starts/week, which would be on the order of 62 to 77 CPUs per wafer. Of course, I'm not sure it is fair to assume AMD is able to actually achieve 100% up time on their equipment.
