Paul,

Over time, those defects ....

Over what period of time?

.... - gate oxide pin holes, contaminants left between thin film layers, etc. - can grow or migrate eventually causing the once functional chip to die an untimely death.

Ok, they can, but will they? What is the probability that something like that happening within useful life of the CPU? How does this probability compare with the probability that the earth will collide with a meteor and kill every human being?

And if the earth is hit with a meteor, and everybody is dead, which CPU do you think will survive this collision? The one from a low yielding process, or high yielding process.

Where on the label can I find out if the CPU I am about to buy is from from a low yielding process/fab/batch/wafer? Does Intel provide this information?

Joe

Paul, Re: "Low yield and Poor Reliability"

Thanks for the backup on this one. These guys I've been debating will surely listen to you. If not, as P.T. Barnum said "There's a sucker born every minute."

Actually, I found this about P.T. Barnum:

And no - he never did say "There's a sucker born every minute." He did say "The people like to
be humbugged." Which amounts to the same thing."

Tony
