Pal, <The 34% yield is accurate.> NO, it is NOT. Why? <YOU MUST INCLUDE THE WAFERS MADE IN Q3 that DIDN't SHIP IN Q3 but DID SHIP in Q4.> Correct, but you have half of a brain, Paul. In the 40k produced wafers, YOU MUST DEDUCT good sorted dies that were NOT SHIPPED YET in the 4Q. How many? AMD knows... But judging from the discussion here, the wildest of your guesses will be wrong. One thing is clear: AMD is rapidly ramping the production, therefore more chips must be left at the end of 4Q than those left in 3Q. Just try to think (if you still able): with production cycle of 10-12 weeks, (12 weeks = 3 months = 1 quarter) almost ALL CHIPS sold in Q4 must be made in Q3!!! You are showing your retardation again, pal. I said: go woodworking!
