Yousef, I thought you were basing your yield estimate on the number of wafers (100,000) and the number of CPU's (about 13 million). Based on that, you get 130 CPU's per wafer. But even that estimate is too low, because the wafer starts in November and December weren't "harvested" in 1998, and there were much fewer (and lower yield) wafer starts in November '97 and December '97 that were harvested in 1998.
