Elmer: thank you for the clarification.

Finally a really informative post instead of the incessant AMD fanboy trolling that goes on here.

Of course the 80% is line yield. There are probably only 5 people in GloFo and 5 in AMD who know the true Zen die yield and 100% some 2 bit Italian website will not.

Line yield would be known to regular joes in the fab and hence the number quoted, and trust me as someone with 22 years fab experience. ..That number stinks

At 200mm2 no one, including Intel is going to get 80% yield on all 8 cores much less upwards of 80% as the article claimed.

...it's possible for a 195mm^2 die.....of course the defect density would have to be quite a bit under .2D/cm^2.........but the article clearly stated RUMOR.....also recall "crazy"............and please ....stop with all that line yield nonsense
