Re: "Yield depends on how much you push the technology. AMD pushed the technology. Consequently, they got a bad yield. The reason they pushed the technology was that their CPU architecture wasn't so good. So they pushed the technology in order to get faster parts. But getting faster parts required pushing the technology. Pushing the technology caused a yield reduction. This increased the cost of their parts, but otherwise allowed them to ship a product." Thank you for a most illuminating post. This is exactly what the Austin grammer school is looking for to teach our children. I'm sure it helped Ali understand things better along with the rest of the 3rd grade class, but please, next time don't use so many big words. Otherwise it's perfect!
