This tremendous manufacturing capability advantage Intel had in the past, again turned into a disadvantage. The test times have no business being 2x to 3x that of a competitor like AMD, given final chip field reliability is not really differentiated.

Intel believes charging business units more directly for test, sort, and bin will make the business units more conscious about what test strategies they use within designs and lead to savings of ~$500M a year.
