They'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.

yeah 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?

Yeah, the article seems to say "don't trust that number, but we don't have any other numbers"

Very unsatisfying.
