All all the M2 variants just Apple going down the binning path because of yields?
- wmf 3y agoM2, M2 Pro, and M2 Max are different dies; they aren't binned versions of the same die. Apple showed "photos" of the dies and you can see they are different sizes with different stuff on them.
- dehrmann 3y agoAre their yields actually that good, then? Are some of these chips massively underclocked? Do they add extra cores and cache for redundancy? Or maybe they have no idea, and TSMC delivers only chips that pass QA. For as big as Apple is, TSMC is in the stronger negotiating position.
