minus-squaresurewhynotlem@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·18 days agoThey’re saying that defect percent isn’t as important as “good chips per platter” If you can fit 100 chips on a single platter, with an 20% defect rate, you get 80 chips. If you can fit 1000 chips on a single platter with a 50% defect rate, you get 500 chips.
