TSMC HAS REPORTEDLY fixed its yield issues with its 40nm manufacturing process, you know the one that all the new GPUs from AMD and Nvidia rely on. This should hopefully mean that there won’t be any more shortages of GPUs, at least for the ones that are already in production.
The Digitimes story suggests that TSMC has gotten the yields for its 40nm parts up to the same level as its 65nm parts, which if true is great news as the 65nm manufacturing process is quite mature by now. This is all according to TSMC's senior VP of operations, Mark Liu and hopefully we can take his word for it.
