The Fermi Thread - Part 3

[LordEC911]

Who knows what kind of arrangement Nvidia have with TSMC and in what way wafer costs and yield issues are handled between the two. For all we know TSMC could have guaranteed price for a fixed number of operational dies regardless of the actual yield per wafer.

Exactly and that is why I said this...

Correct with the TSMC contract, we don't know anything about either contract,

But the original statement still stands, 40nm wafers are more expensive than 65/55nm wafers and yes, by a few thousand dollars per wafer.
