They don't ! >>

AMD K6-2 yield is north of 190. What's Intel on PII and CeleronA?

Paul- "Intel's DIE costs are still lower because their yields are SIGNIFICANTLY higher than
AMD's.

Here's proof:

Intel Q398 Profits - $1,559,000,000.00"

Again, WOW! If Intel is making that much money JUST off the high yields you are talking about, I wonder how much more they are making with their networking, software, etc. groups!
