<If one calculates using 38000 wafers, 5,500,000 K6 shipped + est 1,000,000 in-process or inventoried, die size of 85 sq mm and usable wafer area of 29000 sq mm, out pops a yield figure of 50%.>

Dan, you can't include an extra million as "in-process or inventoried" because that would mean that some of the 5.5 million K6's shipped in Q4 has to be counted as part of the Q3 "inventory."

Judging from these figures alone, AMD had an average yield of 42% for Q4.
