John or Paul,

Another article in Business Week stated:

Analysts estimate that less than 50% of K6 chips etched onto each wafer of silicon pass muster, compared with an estimated 61% for Intel's Pentium MMX chips.

See: businessweek.com

Are Intel's yields only 61 percent? I was under the impression that they were much higher.

If true, wouldn't that imply, given the difference in margins, that AMD's yields are substantially below 50 percent (like closer to 20)?
