AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

[ziggo0]

It doesn't even make logical sense for the card to be on single digit yields. I didn't even believe Fermi was in single digits, and Fermi is much larger and more complicated

So somehow AMD, which delivered the entire Evergreen family + Barts on time on 40nm, who is on their 3rd generation of 40nm products, is having issues with their chips much smaller than GF100/GF110... even Charlie couldn't write this story




Sounds interesting. Way better than games would be awesome... single GPU > previous dual GPU is awesome when one considers the previous dual GPU was far and away the top dog

Not to mention 2 weeks prior to launch... 'oh we are having issues all of a sudden' when around this time stuff should already be in transit to e-tailers and cards piling up left and right.

Well, some folks do have pictures of the card already, so we know they're out there... the question is #'s

Where did you get the impression that if there are yield issues that those issues appeared "all of a sudden"? I recall AMD making a statement about their next generation parts - was it something about coming out in 2010?

When Barts was released there was some info about Cayman as well which clearly indicated November launch. That was a month ago, surely if they had yield issues they'd have known by then..
