Petz - Re: "<using redundancy to improve yields> Why is this necessary, you already claimed that yields were as high as 100% for the Pentium II wafers." You are not quite correct. I said Intel achieved 100% yield on some Pentium (non-MMX) wafers during the start-up of Fab 12 in Arizona. Intel's objective, clearly, is to employ all that their technology development can deliver to achieve near 100% yilds on ALL WAFERS. Large die with large amounts of SRAM will require enormous resources to achieve near 100% yields. Paul
