Paul, <Thus, the transistor "density" is only changed by 1 or 2 percent - hardly enough to impact design layout marginalities, if they exist.> This is truly amusing how desperately you want to stretch the truth. If you accomplished the 3-grade american math, you would find out: K6-0.25um: 68mm2/8.8M = 7.7272 mm2 per 1M transistors; K6-2: 81mm2/9.3 = 8.7097 mm2 per 1M of transistors; This is a 12.7% increase in area per transistor (details of these calculations are left to readers with Ph.D). "which, as you pointed out, could have been a factor in AMD's yield problems." So, Kevin got you clean here. Hehe. Happy woodworking.
