minus-square@surewhynotlemlink1•11 days agoThey’re saying that defect percent isn’t as important as “good chips per platter” If you can fit 100 chips on a single platter, with an 20% defect rate, you get 80 chips. If you can fit 1000 chips on a single platter with a 50% defect rate, you get 500 chips.
minus-square@breadsmasherlinkEnglish4•11 days agoyeah I feel like we are saying the same thing - but the only figure we have is 10% yield and I don’t understand how this article disputes it?
minus-square@surewhynotlemlink2•11 days agoYeah, the article seems to say “don’t trust that number, but we don’t have any other numbers” Very unsatisfying.
