Paul, Re: I wasn't assuming it is production limited, just that the production of P4 doesn't necessarily mean the production of Banias is as problem free. It may well be, but you couldn't prove that by the fact that P4 is doing well.

You need to read Elmer's explanation. Banias and Northwood use the same process. Defects under the same process will cause parts to fail indiscriminately. If Northwood is doing well, then Banias will do even better, since it's a smaller die.
