Paul -

could you share what facts you are basing the 50% utilization figure on?

It is based on 5500 wafers per week capacity at F30 and various die size.

You can calculate their capacity for yourself but using this yield calculator

Murphy model is fine to use. 0.25/cm2 is considered excellent yield.

You can find die sizes at various sites, or from google.

See for yourself what AMD can produce, assuming good yields and binsplits.
