If yield rates aren't a good metric, what does he think is then? It's certainly not layoff numbers, or C-suite compensation.

If after all that investment you're only able to produce TEN PERCENT of the product successfully, that's a failure, by definition. Even if they quintuple the yields, that's still incredibly poor

Gelsinger was hired as a known long time engineer, rather than as a business expert. I would trust his numbers from an engineering perspective, even though I was laid off under his rule
