Re: "Perhaps you can enlighten up on Intel latest YIELD CRASH."

Maxwell, you should ask some of your PE buddies what the difference is between yield and binsplit. Apparently you don't know.

Maxwell - Re: " Perhaps you can enlighten up on Intel latest YIELD CRASH."

The Xeon problem was quite complex, and resulted in the ECC functions not working properly with 4 XEONS in an SMP mode. The failures were "screenable" - that is, the circuit performance was marginal under 400 and 450 MHz conditions. Screening yields some yield but not very much.

A circuit redesign is being implemented that will correct the marginality and get the yield back up to 100%.
