When Intel says "millions" of CuMines will be shipped Q4, are we supposed to be impressed?

Since the CuMine chip is only a little over 100 square mm in size, an 8" wafer should hold 250-275 of them and yield 200 good ones per wafer. (according to pAUL) It should only require 10,000 wafers to produce 2 million of these CuMine chips.

INTEL can process that many wafers in TWO WEEKS using ONE of the four fabs they supposedly have producing CuMine. (Each fab's capacity is 5,000 wafers per week, or 60,000 per quarter if we assume Christmas shutdown.)

They started 0.18µ CuMine production six months ago for mobile parts. What gives?

Not true Goutama. This site is reporting the same thing:

Elmer,

Gamespot is ZDNET! If I'm not mistaken, I believe that was Goutama's point.
