Another thought on CPU testability -- AMD has mastered local interconnect, a technology which allows many more I/O pins on a device with (relatively) low cost. OTOH, Intel has not tried local interconnect yet. Additional I/O's obviously improve the ability to detect faults.

AMD's 4Q conference call also revealed that local interconnect was NOT the reason for low yields.
