In the thread I linked to earlier Jawed put up a very good link, to a article
about yields, a couple of posts down. Link
Had a look at the article myself, but I'm pretty sure a need a printout and a
a beer or two before I try to digest it.
In his next two posts Jawed uses this article as a way to put numbers on the yields
of Cypress and Fermi. Link1 Link2
The thread circles around yields for a couple of pages here.
Hope this helps
