Despite rumours of both production issues and node delays, Samsung has assured its shareholders during its first quarter conference call, that the company is on track. Its yield rate from its 5 nm node was said to have entered maturity, meaning that yields have entered Samsung's expected levels. However, Samsung did admit that its 4 nm node had seen some delays with the ramp up, but it has now entered the expected yield rate curve. The company is also working on an new R&D line for its upcoming 3 nm node, but didn't go into any further details.

As for Samsung's DRAM products, there were rumours that its 12 nm 1b process node had hit some snags and that the company was going to skip ahead to its 1c node, something the company denied. Samsung added that the development of 1b was proceeding stably and that the 1c node is expected to be done on schedule. The company also said that media reports of issues at Samsung's foundry business were overblown and that order books are full, which is why some of its customers have had to produce additional parts with TSMC. Samsung's foundry business reportedly saw an increase in operating profit of 50 percent compared to last year, as well as an increase in revenue of 19 percent.

I think it's the more likely reason (Yields issues not acceptable) that Nvidia didn't use 5LPP (or 4LPP) for AD104/106/107. In 2020 I forecasted in another forum (Anandtech) that AD102/AD103 will have 96MB/64MB cache with 576/384 TC-TMUs if it went N5 (according to leaks we had in 2022 after Lapsus$ hack, Nvidia it seems decided to go with 576/336 TC-TMUs specs & 96MB/64MB) it was an easy prediction regarding the use of cache, it made sense technically.
For the lower end I wrote back then that it will use Samsung because it will allow them to have configs with the option not to use these huge L2 caches if they wanted and of course to maintain the relationship with Samsung that they were building since GP107/108 days.
Tom's Hardware had an article about Ada Lovelace before one week and it was all over the place (for example it forecasted that AD103 will be between 1.6GHz and 2GHz but it won't, it will have at least 2.4GHz actual clocks in the absolute most pessimistic scenario I can think and the overclocked versions of course will be much higher, another easy prediction imo.
I wonder if Nvidia will use Samsung 3nm gaa for the successor of Ada Lovelace but the chances are against it, the development cost for gaa is too high, I don't think Samsung will balance it out with low wafer price and acceptable yields, we will see.

I must have missed that. What's the problem with the 870 evo?
Issues with some batches.
