Yes it can. APM allows AMD to make virtual production lines, maximizing equipment capacity. They can also make a virtual rocket lot line. One rocket line and one production line are all that is needed for process R&D. The rocket line allows the die designers quick turn around for functionality testing and debugging. The production line allows the determination of the manufacturing ability of the design. IIRC, Rocket lot yields are lower than production lot yields.

Can you please define what you mean by "production line", "rocket line"? You seem to be under the impression that fabs have assembly lines similar to an automobile plant. This is not the case.

Also, why do you think that rocket lot yields are lower than production lot yields?
