Digitimes reports that a shortage of 40nm parts from TSMC thanks to continued low yields has caused AMD to delay shipment of their mobile Radeon HD 5000 series from Q4 to Q1 of 2010. I'm sure they would have loved to get in on Christmas sales. Oh well. AMD's 40nm ATI Radeon HD 5000 series and 55nm ATI Radeon HD 4000 series GPUs are currently both facing shortages; the former due low yields on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC's) 40nm process and the later due to AMD's conservative attitude towards its 55nm GPU sales after the launch of 40nm products, the sources noted.
