"but I imagine they're referring to creating the bumps by which the die is connected to the packaging, and test would be a test of individual dies?"

That is precisely the case on both. Final test and sort isn't done until after packaging. That test is mainly to figure out what speed bin the processor is slated for.

j3pflynn/cj re "creating the bumps by which the die is connected to the packaging". This happens after the wafers are cut into individual die? Die that are successfully tested are then sent (to Malaysia) for packaging, final test, and speed grading?

Thanks.
