Ed,

"if AMD said the yield has improved, then it is improved"

I do not recall AMD ever publicly announcing yield improvement.

"[K6's] yield loss can be caused by defects of the process or a design margin issue"

What is your take?

"[based on yield] as high as 80% with 150 gross dies... cost per die can be as low as $8.3"

You are estimating $1,000 cost per wafer. The consensus here at SI is much higher than that. Can you support your figure?

John.
