Correct with the TSMC contract, we don't know anything about either contracts, though I suspect AMD/ATi has been getting a decent discount as well over the last few years.
I also highly doubt Nvidia is seeing 60% yields right now...


40nm wafers are more expensive than 65/55nm wafers...
Lower binned GDDR5? It is clocked slower but I don't think it is a lower bin.
40nm should be cheaper, they pay roughly the same price per wafer but get many more chips.
And lower clocked DDR5 is cheaper, obviously.... and I don't know why they would use fast DDR5 and downclock it (if that is what you are implying).
