Even though Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company claims that the yields on its most advanced 40nm node are high enough for mass production of advanced chips, actual designers and suppliers of graphics processing units still seem to have problems.
"We have had very good demand for our Radeon HD 5700-series and 5800-series. [...] We could not meet all our demand in the third quarter of this year on the Radeon HD 5800- and 5700-series.
