Rumors are ripe that ATI will to move to Global Foundries for 32/28 nm process ;-D.
Some sorces indicate that ATI will skip 32nm process as in the past they didt it; "Radeon 2900 series (80 nm) to the Radeon 3870 (55 nm) Ati already skipped the 65 nm process". ATI wants to skip 32nm process and move to Global Foundries in H1 2010. All info should be taken with the grains of salt ;-D.

Regardless of yields you won't see much of a price difference in ATI's Radeon 5800 Series until after NVidia finally launches a DX11 card. That being said the lower end Radeon 5670s are already in stock and selling for $109 Canadian!
Just wonder how long that improvement will take to filter down to availability on retailers shelves and hopefully a price reduction in ATi's 5000 series?
How good is the 65 nm process yield?

my isn't it a coincidence that this problem has been recified just a few weeks before Nvidia's Fermi silicon goes into volume production.
