John,
Care to make an estimate as to how many wafers it would take to get the first 50k good K7 die? Is 20% yield out of the question? So maybe 2,000 wafers at 25 good die/wafer or about a 20% yield. Would they release with a yield that low?
At $2000/wafer /25 = $80 silicon cost plus say $20 for packaging that's $100/chip initially. Is this out of line?

Regards, Jim
