Petz, where did you get that breakdown or mix of K6 family in Q2/98? If all true, Time Traveler has to give you credit for point that out. However, since you push the die size discussion to the limit, here we go. K6 at 0.35um = 162mm^2 K6 at 0.25um = 68mm^2 K6-2 at 0.25um = 80mm^2 Have you noticed both K6 and K6-2 at 0.25um have even more aggressive design rule than K6 at 0.35um? That means the yield of 0.25um is even worse than 0.35um. The 4.3M figure, you came up with, for Q3/98 is on the assumption that 0.25um yield = 0.35um. Therefore, that number is way too optimistic.
