Ten... << can't include an extra million >> Yes, you are probably right. However, we could include it if we assume a significant ramp-up over 3Q and that 4Q in-process/inventory was that much larger than 3Q...who knows? regards, Dan

Based on 38k wafers. 38,000 (but were all these good wafers?) x 300 possible good die/wafer= 11,700,000 possible good die. Actual number chips est. 5.8 million. 5.8/11.7= 50%... Better % if some wafer starts are thrown away. Also, only 90% of the wafer starts were K6-2. Yields were better on the K6 wafers early in the qtr. So overall yields after final testing were likely better than 50%... Problem was that 800k-1 million were those down binned CXT cores that showed up as yield but killed ASPs... Jim
