Barry, re: "Thought: When 70% or so of the chips made are bad (implied by the reported 30%-40% yield),
doesn't it make you wonder HOW good the remaining ones that ship are ????"

Coincidence, but I posted this to the AMD thread a few minutes ago:

Message 3274267

I've often wondered about exactly what you said about the goodness (quality, reliability) of AMD's so-called good K6's. Good reason to stay with Intel, wot?

Tony

p.s. when I've dealt with Intel on server hardware, they've given me FIT rates (failures in 10 to the 9th hours) for every component in the box, and a calculated overall MTBF. A lot of vendors will not even return your call when you ask for reliability numbers.
