Re: ". MR estimates are as good as any one. $6 difference is about right."

So you are saying that the CeleronA and the PII die costs are the same, even though the CeleronA die is much bigger and getting crappy yields (your claim, not mine). That means that the PII yield must be in the 70s also because a wafer costs the same pretty much independent of what product gets put on it. With the same number of total good die even with a smaller die, Intel must be running a lower ISO for the PII than the CeleronA, if your statements are correct. This is most strange Maxwell. The PII is a much more mature product so why is it running at a lower ISO? That is.. if your statements are correct....
