PlayStation 5 Launch Supply Reduced due to AMD CPU/GPU SoC Yield Issues

[HD64G]

No way a 50% yield is true on TSMC's 7nm enhanced for such a small chip.

Sony already denied:

“While we do not release details related to manufacturing, the information provided by Bloomberg is false,"
"We have not changed the production number for PlayStation 5 since the start of mass production."

AMD always get good yields and I feel it’s Sony who is to blame... AMDs APU experience is well known..

tho I love PS, this time I should say Xbox is more compact and looks good. pS looks very bulky and not so desk friendly. It reminds me of CPU cabinet :/

Sony have officially , publicly, refuted this as false.

That is concerning to their bottom line and that fact that if we thought i was going to be hard to find a PS5 before, now it will be downright impossible in some cases. But better safe than sorry. Can't afford a "red ring of death" situation.

Have they really? is this a new development?

Yes , quite recently, I can't recall where though.

There's a post with a link higher up to some proof?! But that's not what I saw first.

Yeah. Thank you. I saw it after i replied to you. Very interesting wording. There are two components to the rumor. Didn't deny the SOC issue. Honestly its going to be hard to get a PS5 to being with. I just hope this SOC issue is isolated. And wont be an ongoing issue.

That close every discussion

Actually AMD has no yields at all, being a fabless manufacturer.
You are speaking about TSMC yields

1) tweaktown has been bad for years, i'm pretty sure they're banned from review samples from one of the major brands & dont sign NDAs

2) the bloomberg source said 'as low as' & 'stable level', this really sounds like on a per day or week basis, not the 'every other soc doesnt work' assumption that everyone seems to have

3) any negative news on a financial site is probably poking at stock value
