John,

Re: "How much space is wasted between each die? Even a mm between die
would waste over 20% of the area."

Typically the "scribe width" is about 150um - 175um (this translates
to .15mm - .175mm) on each side.

Hope this helps.

Make It So,
Yousef

Petz - Re: "please comment on my guesstimate of 400 candidate CPU's per wafer for a 68mm^2 die size. "

That sounds like a reasonable number, although it may be slightly higher at 410 possible good die/200 mm wafer.
