This is on a 22nm process, which is what Intel Haswell [1] (4th gen core) was using 10 years ago. The latest gen chips are now 7 and 5nm [2], and it seems a lot of the innovation in chip manufacturing is about shrinking this size. How much is being done to improve yields of these older process sizes, maybe using the improvements done for smaller sizes? Logically it must be possible to have 100% yield on wafers at a certain process size -- but what size is that?
