Without knowledge of the details of the contract it's impossible to state anything about this arrangement isn't it?
There's not much of a difference between paying $20,000 for a wafer holding 400 chips with a known 50% defect rate versus paying $100 per chip. Could just be accounting games.
- the_lego 3y agoThe difference is this way, the price per working chip doesn't change as they improve the process.
- fxtentacle 3y agoThat sounds like an awesome deal for TSMC. Right now, they lose money on every chip. But if they can improve their processes and get the defect rate down, they will start to make profit off every chip. So this is Apple giving them a fighting chance to improve yield and profit off it - if they can do that.
