but if Intel is telling the truth, it is very questionable if it makes any business sense to recover defective devices. What truth?? There is no truth here. World class yields.... Outstanding yields....Shi**y yields.....Poor yields.....Exceptional yields....Great yields .....Yields in the toilet......Yadda Yadda yields. It's all MEANINGLESS crap. And that's just what it is meant to be. What matters is actual yield % and die size. Given the % of dual core and quad core in Intel's current mix. (maybe 80%....can anyone provide a better estimate)).....over 48 million good C2Ds were produced in Q4. Even if the blended C2D yield was 80% (it wasn't) there would have been at least 12 million defective C2Ds available for recovery into at least 10 million single core parts. So.....contrary to your laughable claims......it is UNQUESTIONABLE that it makes sound business sense to recover these defective devices. And Intel does. THE WATSONYOUTH
