The 5-20% yield is in connection with the Fermi chip. It is rumoured that about 7 to 10 chips are fully functional per waver and another 10-20 chips could be functional with one cluster deactivated. The yield very likely isn't even close to 80% for dual-cluster-deactivated chips. |
Yeah, I just mean you shouldn't trust anyone who says TSMC's yields are X (like Bright Side of News). Only in connection with a die.
I said Cedar was >80%, that's the smallest Evergreen die, not Fermi. Fermi will be a lot lower in any case because it is a bigger die.
