re: <<the first generation or two of AMD's 0.13 output might have had extremely low yields or a circuit design problem.>>

<but Jerry told us AMD has "the BEST yields in the world">

Jerry would still not be lying if it were a circuit design/layout problem, or a process problem that was already fixed. I suspect it was a layout problem caused by moving the L2 cache, if you want my opinion.

AMD's yields must have improved from a year ago because units should be nearly flat year over year in Q4, but they'll do it with one fab instead of two, and that fab is running 2 processes -- 0.13, 0.13 SOI.
