NVidia has long held that the rumors of poor yield in the GF100 from TSMC were just that, rumors. Today, however, it seems they are backpedaling a bit and saying that things are “finally getting better”.
This isn’t something Nvidia has wanted to talk a whole lot about, but according to recent statements made by David White, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Nvidia, things are starting to improve.
“Supply constraints are finally easing,” White explained during a quarterly conference call with financial analysts.
Of course, Better is never good enough.
“From a supply perspective, we wish we had more 40nm capacity,” Huang said. “We are working TSMC really closely. They are doing a fab job. Yields are improving,. Capacities are improving. But we are finding it hard to keep up. Everyone is clamoring to have Fermis out the door. We are working really hard to get Fermis out the door.”
