You are forgetting design has a big effect on yields. You can have a low DD and still have bad yields. I don't know where you're getting this. It's just not true for a company such as Intel. DD is yield. Design and process are tightly coupled. The process doesn't know what design is being fabed. The defects don't know which design it is. Each product has to use the same design rules. 45nm is healthy so any design fabed on it using standard design rules should see the same DD as any other product. This isn't TSMC or UMC and it certainly isn't IBM. Intel's 45nm HiK/MG DEDP process has another slowdown with line speed (wafers per month) reductions per M2 in fab cleanroom space. It causes further reductions in saleable dies per quarter. Not even close. I suppose you picked this expertise up when you studied Japanese Law.
