"someone quoted 315 candidates as the dice on an Athlon wafer "

That number is from Jerry. Apparently that represents the number of chips on a 200mm wafer at 0.13 micron.

"I wonder if a partial wafer can be used?"

I doubt if the equipment can handle partial wafers. And what would be the point? According to Kash, an unprocessed, 200mm wafer goes for $50.
