I'm super curious -- since Apple is not marketing on Ghz and playing the Intel game, how do they deal with variable chip manufacturing yield? Is there a narrow band or minimum chip speed that they'll accept and toss anything performing below?

Does the SoC become so physically larger that yields also go down by quite a bit, and any defects on 5nm become much more troublesome?
