AMD comments in CC -

AMD made an interesting comment in their CC. When asked about yields, they said they were getting the same % yield on .13u as on .18u, thus leaving the impression (intentionally no doubt) that the yields were equivilant. With the reduced die size, the % would have to increase to be the same defect density, therefore the yields are in fact worse on .13u than on .18u but of course nobody caught that.
