From Yahoo thread:
100,000 MII&GX A WEEK OUT OF 2000 WAFER AT COST OF $ 3000 A WAFER
If it was true, it would be discouraging:
2,000 wafer x $3,000 = $6,000,000
$6,000,000 / 100,000 = $60 per CPU
It would also mean that NSM gets only 50 die / wafer, shich would mean a terrible yield. Isn't there supposed to be 100 - 200 dice per wafer?
I am confused...
Unless he is mixing weekly chips with monthly wafer starts. Otherwise, they would use up more than 8,000 wafers per month just on CPUs, while the whole capacity is around 10,000 wafers per month.
Any opinions?
