Default [FUD] TSMC 40nm yields are at 50 percent

Quote:
TSMC 40nm yields are at 50 percent

Industry sources have confirmed Fudzilla that TSMC’s 40nm process is definitely far from the numbers they should be hitting. It’s been more than a year, probably even year and a half since TSMC started 40nm test production, and even today their yields are extremely poor.

Our sources are quoting numbers close to 50 percent, and in the semiconductor manufacturing business, this would be considered as extremely bad for a mature manufacturing...

Looks like supplies and prices won't be budging for a while, if ever. They may need a whole new manufacturing process before the issues are fixed.

such a bummer when 55nm was just great for ATI. Looks like I'll be waiting it out till the 6xxx series but in the meantime, i'll be geting a pair of 8800GT's.

Its still pretty sad, i know the problems can't be told to go away but a company of this size and respect should do better, simple as that.

Let's hope Charlie doesn't read lurk around OCN. I can see it now.
