Meathead, Thanks for the detailed explanation. You didn't mention specifically, so I assume that the motherboard isn't becoming a passive backplane, as it is in industrial computers, and no reason to expect that side effect of the new design will be in decreased DOA rate of the entire computer, not just Pentium itself. 2. Yield improvements. Pentium integrates L2 cache die with processor die in a single chip. If L2 fails test, you need to throw the whole chip away. It's simply a more complex solution. Sorry, I didn't get this part about a more complex solution leading to yield improvement.
