Albert's comments are not wrong. As you just said, it is related to silicon and electric currents, so if there were issues, they would not be UPPING the frequencies of these components (you know, passing more current through them).

Apples <> Bananas

If you have issues with the silicon you can't use it... so there are redundant areas in the chip to use if some part get wrong but when most of part of the silicon is havin issues then they won't use this chip.. that means low yelds (the percentage of good chips in the silicon is too low for massive production).

Clock have nothing to do with yelds issues.

I understand perfectly well how silicon yields work. I have a bachelor's degree in computer science, 4.0 GPA, working on Master's Degree.

What I said still stands. You do not increase clock speeds and frequencies of chips if you are having major issues producing them to begin with.

Maybe one of these days you will provide actual proof to these claims of production issues.
