I wonder how deep the pipeline is between inputs and failing tests on the output? I'd guess they'd have quite a bit of inventory in flight before they realized there was a problem with the output, but hell, I don't know.

3 months of inventory are "in flight" being manufactured at any given time, that is the minimum amount of affected inventory. Huge feedback loop, most chip designers can only squeeze in 2 revisions a year due to this.
