I do not have a tough time believing the 20%-30% yield numbers. But some might overreact reading them. That podcast I linked to a few weeks ago about Morris Chang told an interesting story from his days (late 60's) as the guy running fabs for Texas Instrument. TI was cutting edge back then and they would expend massive amounts of capital to set up these new fabs. They wanted an ROI on that capital so they would charge a premium price for the newest toy on the market. That limited the number of orders and meant they were not running at full capacity. Chang had big problems with this and went to his bosses. He said we are going about this all wrong. We will never work out the kinks if we only run sporadically. It is essential that we operate at maximum capacity to achieve the necessary yields. We must run waste to figure out what the actual problems are and if our attempts at fixing them worked or not. You cannot do that with an idle line. It appears that this is occurring with Intel. They only ran 30,000 wafers in this testing period. TSMC claims its new plant in Arizona can run over 20,000 wafers a month. So, Intel only has one and a half months of running time to go from. This amount appears modest given the complexity of the process.

You mean good thing. Stops us from doing something stupid.

Thankfully they can only pay him $14M per. Now we just have to hope it isn't longer than 2 years.

Yeah, Thompson down.

Boston played and traveled last night. Maybe some tired legs in the 4th.

Shame he didn't score because Thompson just embarrassed Tatum.

Not when there isn't a defender within 10 feet.

Horford tapped that on the way up didn't he?

Me and this guy are the same species?

This is the problem you have when you play guys like THJ, Harris, Beasley, etc. Thoroughly outplayed Boston that half and somehow its tied.

Can't believe doubling off of Pritchard is what the coaching staff wants.

Cant shoot better bench him.

I would like to report a theft.

I haven't seen defense like this since going to work. And this is the bench for the most part.

Thompson is destroying the Celtics on defense.

Thompson just disrobed Tatum.

I agree Intel would never leak those numbers. But there are a lot of vendors on site during these runs and those people will absolutely leak. ASML will have a bunch of people on site. The machine Intel is using is built by ASML (obviously) and its their newest model and the first one of that model. Last I knew there is a German company that is the only one who can make the laser they use. Those folks will leak.

Four contending teams would be a fun summer.

42 wins is the best improvement. So yeah, not even close.

And its gotta be the Spurs right? The year the lost Robinson and got Duncan in the draft. I'm gonna google this.
