Petz - Re: "4000 DPW is high for Q1'99 when Q2's production started.
2. Considering low yield K6-3 line, mobile K6-2's, initial Athlon line and other CPU products, 3000 DPW is more like it.
3. AMD also had a mask change for the K6-2 during this period, probably involving some downtime for reconfiguration"

4000 DPW ?

Do you even have a clue what DPW stands for ???

Let's face it - my calculations were very accurate and you are in DENIAL that AMD's yields could be so bad.

The problem with this analysis is that Jerry Sanders announced more than 4000 wafers per week at the CC. When pressed for how much more Sanders declined to be more precise.
