I work at different chip manufacturers fabs, and I can tell you that I'm sure thier yield is in the range of 40% to 80%.

First, that's a pretty wide guessing range. It's just like being sure that their yield is somewhere between 5% and 95%.

Second, people here as well as Ashok Kumar (sp?) have trouble understanding yields and bin-splits. I think that when Kumar was talking about a 1% yield on 400 MHz parts, I don't think he meant that 99% of the parts are just plain unusable.

Of course, now that AMD is going to introduce 400 MHz at Nov. 10, guess Kumar just lost some credibility there.
