'Mavericks'; and the Intel wafer on display in the Sunnyvale Fry's > "If...the yield is less than a programmed amount...the whole wafer > is thrown away. They call these wafers 'Mavericks'. Did anyone else see the wafer of Intel chips on display at the Sunnyvale Fry's? The reason I bring it up, is that many of the little rectangles have a little black dot in the middle of them, but many do not. There is a visible crack on the wafer, and every little rectangle that the crack passes through has a black dot. I was wondering if this is one of the wafers being discussed here; where black dots mean that chip failed. I forgot how many had no dot, but it was quite a few, so if my theory is right we can get one data point suggesting Intel tossed at least one maverick wafer with quite a few chips that passed at least some test. Anyone else seen it? Is my guess good? Ron
