Your colleague at AMD suggests that, since the yield is so poor,you might make chips more cheaply if you released multiple versionsof the same chip, just with different numbers of cores. Forexample, you could sell Phoenix8, Phoenix4,Phoenix2, and Phoenix1, which contain 8,4,2and 1 cores on each chip, respectively. If all eight cores aredefect-free, then it is sold as Phoenix8. Chips withfour to seven defect-free cores are sold as Phoenix4,and those with two or three defect-free cores are sold asPhoenix2. For simplification, calculate the yield for asingle core as the yield for a chip that is 1/8 the area of
