He got you. According to that link, Intel is starting about 100K 8" wafer equivalents per week around now (they were at 78K a year ago, before the new 12" FABs came on line). If 2/3's are for CPUs (which are a lot more than 2/3's of revenue) then Intel is producing 30 million or so CPUs per quarter from 1.3 million wafers.

Which works out to about 23 good chips per wafer.

Man, those big P4 dice are a pain to FAB, eh?
