<So if Intel is getting 160 good die per wafer like Paul Engel says they are, they should be producing and selling 4 million to 4.8 million CPU's per week, or 200 to 240 million per year! Somethings fishy, wouldn't you say?> What's fishy is your assumptions. Intel doesn't just make processors. For every processor sold there are at least 2 additional chips required for their chipsets. In addition Intel makes at least some of the sram used in the PII. Add in Graphics processors (which are taking off), microcontrollers, networking products etc and it is clear that you can't measure fab output by processors alone. EP
