Perhaps, but there are two different ways in which the yields could be poor. (1) Poor percentage yields in terms of absolute numbers of shippable processors. Speaking about yields in terms of percentages is meaningless. You know that. The only meaningful measure is defect density. AMD will speak of yields in terms of percentages compared to their .18u products because it will sound better and only professionals will know a higher % could still mean a worse defect density. EP

(1) Poor percentage yields in terms of absolute numbers of shippable processors. (2) Poor binning. Thoroughbred could potentially be binning lower than Palomino. Dale, have you joined some kind of AA for chip company addicts? You seem to be going through the 12 steps or something. Good progress, old chap.
