Re: "Does it accelerate failures of pin-hole, metalization and other flaws that would turn into DOAs or ELFs in the field?" Exactly. It is to accelerate ELFs. In fact statistics can be applied and sometimes based on the numbers of dead parts after x hours, the entire lot may be scrapped. It is much better to clean up your process but not everyone is able to do that. I am not saying that AMD has this problem, only this is what happens if they do. EP

Yesterday, ML analyst Joe Osha raised his price target on Texas Instruments (TXN $91 5/8) from $90 to $110. The move was not unexpected because the alternative would have been to downgrade the rating. Yesterday's positive move in TXN put the stock on the ratings border again -- 20% upside. The new target was based on 52x 00E. By the way, the analyst based his Intel (INTC $87 5/8) target on only 34x 00E. INTC currently needs a new target. Splitting the difference would put INTC's target at $125, going the full distance would result in about $150. A lot of stocks under this analyst's coverage could use some help with price targets. CNXT and SNDK would be a couple of them.
