"So to make a couple hundred fifty thousand chips for release they would need about 10,000 wafers to be started at least 10 (2.5 months) weeks before introduction."

I don't think that they'd start all 10000 wafers at once. They need to keep the K6 pipeline running also. It'd be less risky to only start ~25lots/wk now for late q2 intro. That way any fixes that are required affect fewer lots. Also this could mean that K7 initial production would not significantly impact K6 production.
