re: <Those high yields estimates must be based on a few "Rocket Lots"> Private email'er told me that 50% yield is consistent, and he said this a few days before Kumar spouted the number. Same person also said that the 1% yield that Kumar originally quoted was A FACT. When the Sunnyvale process, then at 40% yield, but inconsistent, was first transferred to Fab 25, the yield was terrible (1%). Teams of engineers from Sunnyvale found not only the problems at Fab 25, but also the cause of the inconsistency. By the way, Paul, please explain the process for "rocket lots." Petz
