RE:"You still don't get it. There is no such thing as a "yield number" because it varies with die size. There is only defect density which is constant across die size. It's been explained to you over and over again and you just keep saying, "Oh! OK, but what are Intel's yields?". Since there are several people here who know exactly what Intel's defect density is, and what their yields are, I'll answer your yield question. Intel's yields are 35.5%, 37%, 38%, 47%, 51%, 66%, 71%, 88.8% and 94%, plus a few more in between."
Oh, I get it Elmer. Thank you for restating it as well.
What gets me is when I hear Intel throw out terms like "world class yields". That's arbitrary and something I would expect to hear from Jerry Sanders not Intel.
OTOH, Intels process appears to be the best in the world, I've never questioned that. Don't link me with those that claim otherwise. I don't even worry about it. I'll leave that to the engineers to fight about.
