Question:

Figure 1.22 gives the relevant chip statistics that influence the cost of several current chips. In the next few exercises, you will be exploring the trade-offs involved between the AMD Opteron, a single-chip processor, and the Sun Niagara, an 8-core chip.
a. What is the yield for the AMD Opteron?
b. What is the yield for an 8-core Sun Niagara processor?
c. Why does the Sun Niagara have a worse yield than the AMD Opteron, even though they have the same defect rate?
