NVIDIA - GT300 yields are fine ...
By Hilbert Hagedoorn, September 26, 2009 - 8:59 PM

Recently a rumor on the web popped up that NVIDIA's yields on the new GT300 chip are lower than 2%

GT300 is the new high-end DX11 class GPU that will empower their upcoming graphics cards.

To put a leash on the rumor a senior manager from NVIDIA is now saying that “Our (NVIDIA's) 40nm yields are fine. The rumors you are hearing are baseless.”

The product manager unfortunately did not reveal what the GT300 yields really are.

NVIDIA also questioned DX11, which only enforces rumors about their delayed chipset, because trust me .when we say ... if NVIDIA had it's DX11 parts out, it would be marketing DX11 heavily.

Apparently the GT300 was taped out early September, add a week or six to eight to that and this would tell us a launch could be imminent as soon as late November early December.

Ah well, we'll wait and see, hopefully NVIDIA can surprise us all real soon.

Charlie has left the enquirer to join SemiAccurate. I don't know what all the fuss about him is. He clearly does not like nvidia but he has been getting most things right from what i have read of his articles. He may even be correct about nv's yield we will just have to wait and see. Nvidia are not gonna release a statement saying things are going rubbish for them on the gt300 side so of course they are gonna say things are going great even if the opposite is true. The only way we will find out for sure is when the cards are on sale to buy.

The problem with him is... he has the knowledge, skill and access, etc. to produce much better, objective and informative articles but instead would rather go on petulant rants and feed his own pathetic agendas pumping out tabloid level journalism at best.
