Kash - Re" No way in H*ll they are going to yield 56 DPW with that die size. Think maybe 1/2 that and it still would be great for starting out."

(i) "Hell" isn't a dirty word.

(ii) It is very difficult to predict defect-limited yield, but I would say that >50% yield loss due to defects is dreadful (even early in the learning curve) and that AMD should do a lot better than that. Speed bin yield on the other hand - who knows. However, the indications appear to be that 500Mhz is easy enough to achieve (someone said that not many 500Mhz chips would be made).

I am going out on a major limb here, but I would say that after 1 quarter, >>50% 500Mhz yield will be achieved. Boy I'm going to regret that!
