But I can't agree with the convolution, because even if all those long lines holds true, the price and performance of the competing GPU from ATi would have a much bigger impact on the price of Fermi, then the bad yields .
thx
what do you mean?

thx
isnt that the same what i wrote?
nvidia needs either 40% perf advantage over rv870 at bad yields (15-30%) or at least a 20% perf advantage over rv870 at ok yields (40%+) to be competitive.

i wish somebody would post something like what i wrote but with actual numbers
even if we could get actual numbers about G80 or even older gpus, that would be so interesting to read! and it would give us a rough idea how yields and defect rates and chip sizes and costs play together... i mean nvidia and ati are pretty good at keeping their gpu prices a secret... its really hard to find out how much a card costs compared to the gpu alone etc...
