Are you saying that Intel's yields and/or bin splits did not go straight to hell along with the introduction of infamous notched gate? Please don't put words in my mouth. What I said was that Intel never had a b(n)otch gate "problem". I think there was a real binsplit problem that coinsided with the introduction of CuMine on the .18u process but it wasn't caused by the notched gate. I wasn't following the issue at the time but it may have cause Intel to produce lots of CuMines too slow to be marketable and by that definition there may have been a yield problem but it was not defect driven. AMD may be in the exact same boat now, scrapping virtually all .13u material due to poor binsplit. Whatever the reason, AMD can't ship .13u material. Not much to debate there because nothing's coming out the door. EP
