Kash - Re: "I think this points to reasonable yields at 400 and 450 speed grades now with the current implementation of the CXT core."

As you noted, but did NOT conclude, AMD's CXT core tops out at about 400 MHz using AMD's target process and electrical parameters.

As an act of desperation, AMD once again had to resort to jacking up their supply voltages - well beyond their target specs - to get competitive processor speeds.
