Elvis, Re: "So it seems like either AMD is lying (which I seriously doubt) or they have pulled off a miracle (which I also doubt). What do you think?" I think that AMD has been working on their yield problem(s) for quite some time. This began back last August and just recently has been fixed to allow AMD to get "acceptable" yields. There is a good chance that AMD had to fix more than one process problem, so little or no improvement was seen until all problems were under control ... Thus when the last problem is fixed, yield improves very quickly and this looks like a "miracle" fix. Believe me, AMD has put much/all of their process engineering resources on solving these problems ... I wonder who was working on their next generation .18um process. Probably no one !!
