Re -- should be able to get their 0.25 process at 60% yield within a year.

You forgot IF AMD is STILL AROUND by the end of the year, and every thing works well (to use Jerry Sanders, the best case). VERY IMPORTANT to take such things into consideration.!!

What is the size of the K7 (wont AMD start production of this within a year?) and the size of the other flavors of the K6. What will be the CPU mix like..

Please take all of the above into consideration, recompute, and post your new values (on the AMD thread)

I think a 30% yield is much more realistic.

This computes to close to 20M units.

best regards,

Kash.

Petz, re: "Any decent semi fab"

And therein lies the rub...

Petz - Re: "Any decent semi fab (IBM, MOT, NSM, AMD, even TSMC) should be able to get their 0.25 process at 60% yield within a year."

AMD hasn't been able to achieve 60% yields on their 0.35 micron process which is easier than their 0.25 micon process - and according to AMD, they have been producing K6's since November of 1996 - more than a year ago.
