Paul -

In Intel's annual report there is a picture of a processed wafer. There are many partial chips on it all around the edges.

Why do they bother to print these chips around the edges, since they will obviously end up in the trash bin? Also, it seems that if you shifted certain rows so that they were out of alignment with the rows above and below you could squeeze in a few extra chips. Why don't they do this?
