Nvidia GT300 yields are under 2%

[gumballguy]

#1- Charlie is NOT the source. A different source leaked some info and a very good informant even posted up the numbers Charlie was going to quote yesterday. This informant quoted similar troubles but slightly higher yields, still under 10%.

Why would anyone tell charlie anything? Or perhaps more to the point, Charlie exclusively?

they went too big last time around, do you honestly think this chip is any smaller than their previous chip?

Nope. Maybe they'll think different by GT500. I think the successsors are too far into design now to change so soon. However, they might well scrap some of those and fastrack designs based on smaller chips.

From a member at Anandtech:

Interesting post. Why would anyone ham it up to Charlie if that was the case?

More like the Ebola.

Uwe Boll and the Ebola virus are the same thing, disregarding that one pretends to be sentient.

At the end of the day, I think it's Charlie being Charlie. I put absolutely no stock in this rubbish at all. You can argue whether the info was inadequate (based on the anandtech post) or it's just Charlie's NV hate, but either way I'm calling it rubbish.

And I will probably buy ATI this time so no, not a fanboy :p
