Shane - RE: "By my (well, by a Nikon stepper's) calculations, about 140-150 die per wafer." Thanks for the calculation. So if AMD gets yields of 40% (is that number OK for AMD with a "new-core" processor by the end of the year?), they get 56 K7s per wafer. At a realistic ASP of $350 per chip until the end of the year, that leads to $19,600 per wafer, or $235.2 Mil from 672,000 chips coming from 1K wafers per week in a 12 week Q. I wouldn't expect these numbers until Q4. The numbers may even be worse because they have to go from .25 to .18.
