Re: "Every foundry I've dealt with has been extremely reticent about sharing their defect density. Who knows what AMD is doing, maybe they told Anand, but I doubt it. If AMD isn't getting great yields, they sure aren't pricing their product as if that were the case." There is very little relationship between cost and price. If AMD were to price their processors based on cost, they never would sell any. Haven't you noticed? AMD has never posted an overall profit when doing their own processor designs. Doesn't that tell you something? EP
