"but you must realize that a 75% CWM yield implies about 62 million dual core CWM chips from 3 65nm fabs......virtually the entire x86 market......TODAY."

Yep. And that is why Intel is bringing up another 65mm fab by the end of the year.

Oh, wait...

In all fairness, Intel started doing flash on 65nm in Q2, so that consumes some capacity.

I didn't say anything about Intel yields. I said there was too much capacity with 5 300mm fabs and 2 more on the way. If you are going to argue that they need that much capacity to supply demand because of poor yields then I'll bow out of that argument.
