Pardon me for being imprecise. What I meant was fabrication of the silicon wafers. I think of the AMD step in the process as manufacturing, and the IBM part as packaging.

Darbes, Wouldn't AMD at least test the wafers to count the good ones before shipping, and would they be able to know the speed of what they sent as undiced wafers?, or would AMD dice them and test bin them to speed categories, and ship the dice to IBM for packing? Much more stable and less fragile that way.
You might not want to get high mileage on the wafers, as I hear they are fragile. Anybody know what they actually do?
