Elmer, >If the P4 is over 2x the size of PIII and still yields at 70% compared to 80% for PIII, that would be phenomenal! And the 250 PIII die per wafer is a bit much I would guess, even for Intel. These guys are clueless. Not only that, but 70% yield, I would think, would be rather smashing out of the chute, wouldn't it? The paper claims that P4 was meant to be built using new machines which weren't delivered on time and the old steppers aren't really up to the task with yields of 70 per cent on the P4 compared with 80 per cent for Pentium III parts.

Re: If the P4 is over 2x the size of PIII and still yields at 70% compared to 80% for PIII, that would be phenomenal! Agreed. I'm skeptical that final yields could be that good on a brand new chip, but, if they are, IMHO it's a real achievement and Intel should be congratulated. Dan
