Rate of return for the Intel Core i9 13900K (inquiry)
I'm gathering data on how tech costs have dropped and creative tools have expanded over the past two decades. For the Core i9 13900K, I need a rough efficiency figure—specifically the typical percentage of working chips per wafer. No direct intel source required, just any reliable estimate would help. Thanks!
They don't share this data publicly. You can look up general figures online.
This suggests an informed estimate from professionals in business reports. It’s hard to picture Intel admitting poor results, since competitors would prefer silence. On the flip side, if results were unusually strong, customers might demand lower prices right away. Hope your research goes well—look into sources where Intel stock discussions are shared, as useful hints about performance often appear there.
Estimate values with a silicon yield tool like the one on isine.com. Wafers are 300mm, CPU die measures about 257mm by 23.8x10.8mm. Defect rates for TSMC at 7nm and 5nm are around 0.1. For reference, Intel hasn't publicly shared this data. Other figures can stay at defaults unless you want deeper analysis. Keep in mind the calculation excludes defective dies entirely and doesn’t account for binning or core-specific issues, which might affect performance.
Thanks, this is very useful information, you've just saved me many hours of research. If anyone is curious, using this calculator , the yield rate for the Intel Core i9 13900 should be about 77.8%. The variables used were a die size of 23.8 x 10.8, wafer diameter of 300MM, a defect density of 0.1/CM², and an edge loss of 5MM. Due to the confidentiality of Intel's manufacturing processes, this is just an estimate, and uses several assumed variables (Such as defect density, and edge loss. Edge loss could likely be calculated, but I don't have the knowledge to perform such a calculation), as a result of that.
