Elmer, I would think yields in the 70% area are very good and hard to achieve. The Celeron package is far more costly then the K6 pachage and the yields for AMD and Intel must be similar? So celeron costs more by the slot type package premium. when 370 comes along Celeron costs will drop to a bit more than the K6 costs.
Remember when they all transitioned to plastice packages? When will that come along for K6-2-3, and K7? if ever. I am aware of the better thermal ratings of the metal/ceramic package, however lower voltages and die size shrink heat out even as the ever faster hotter chips make the heat go up. As they get better plastic thermal conductivities will they reach a plastic point for the K6-2-3, Celeron 333? This will save a bundle. I recall when the 286 went plastic, price dropped.
