Sarmad, on Fab 36 yields... Fab36 processed ~4.2B mm^2 of wafer area, running at 60000 wafers/Q. Let's assume it is all Brisbane, and see what we get... Initial Brisbane was 126mm^2. Some more recent BE- parts are listed as 118mm^2. Let's use 130mm^2 and add another 10% to be conservative: 4.2B / 143 = ~30M potential 65nm Brisbane parts. AMD units shipped in Q2: 15.3M, from Fab36, Fab30 and Chartered. Let's be generous and assume 12M from Fab36. 12M / 30M = 40% yields on a ~125mm^2 die. Barcelona yields (283mm^2) must be bad indeed.
