isn't sony's chip smaller too?  even with yield% identical sony ought to be able to manufacture at a faster rate as there are more chips per waffer.  ..as i understand it.

It is... in terms of transistors the Sony chip is 40% smaller.

that's what i thought.  40% smaller should have a big impact on rate of production.
