Just to add another perspective to the debate over yield vs. dependability: I was indirectly involved with the computer function at a 2000 employee plant that used 90% intel and 10% Cyrix/AMD CPUs. In a four year period, they had only 2 CPU failures. That compares to about 100 failures for other hardware and software issues. Hardware failures were commonly power supplies or hard drives. The point is why the argument? CPU failure rate should be a mute point in the buying decision. On the other hand, yield from wafers is significant but only in as much as it impacts company profits and production capacity. Since I still have my original Intel 386, Cyrix 486 and P120 working at home, I sure can't knock CPU dependability.
