"Honestly my friend, if you're still trying to hold onto this rumor at this point, it's just grasping at straws.

ESRAM is *embedded* in the GPU. You don't have yield problems with ESRAM embedded in the GPU then increase the frequency of the GPU. When we increased the frequency of the GPU we also increased the bandwidth of the ESRAM, so they are directly related."

I'm not seeing upset in any of his comments at all. 

This PR guy obviously has no clue of what he is talking about. It is completely irrelevant where esram is. Either you have enough transistors for the 32MByte or you don't, it's as simple as that. (I'm pretty convinced the problem has always been the SoC yield of the Kinect2 unit, not the apu SoC yield). Penello is even setting himself up for the very trap he wants to avoid falling into:

"If you don't have/never had yield problems, how come you had to limit launch to 13 countries only. It seems there is not enough stock?"
