Why comparing their yields? Even if AMD had 80 % defect-rate and Nvidia had "only" 60 %, that wouldn't mean that Nvidia's yields are anywhere near good. They just plain suck.

AMD did great job with RV770(especially compared to GT200), and you will thank them for lower prices from Nvidia, now it is Nvidia's turn to do the same.
Who said AMD did bad and NVIDIA did good, please stop your inner fanboy and talk like an adult.

I only said that people always say Intel and NVIDIA have crappy yields, and we almost never hear that from the same people about AMD (and let me tell you that with phenom they did).

Ouch?

Also, yield does not necessarily translate into volume. It just means they're making TSMC work harder.
Dont really buy it actually, those yields are way to low.
