Oh please

What are the die sizes, and sources for them? AMD has aleady plenty of experience with TSMC's 40 nm process, thanks to RV740.

More than likely that the 2 % yield number is FAR off, but it indicates that yields are LOW. Most probably the chip design by Nvidia has flaws, which they need to sort out and fix, then re try and see how it turns out. Or fix the issues and take a risk; mass produce without testing.
