TSMC's 3nm arrives later than Samsung's 3nm, but with significantly higher yields, a report claims.

Perhaps they don't comment on rumors, but they have made public statements about yields. They've also included yield curve graphics in their slides, even comparing the yield of newer process nodes with older ones over the same ramp-up period.TSMC did not comment on the news story (and they never will comment on yields)
You can still imagine a situation where all the parameters are optimally tuned and they still can't reach adequate yields. I'm not saying it'll happen to these nodes, but it seems like Intel has been struggling with some yield problems they couldn't simply optimize away, in recent years.there could be thousands of ways to improve or lower yields
Idk why they don't sell the failed ones. (assuming they can't recycle them)
Many people would gladly purchase them for art to hang on a wall or put on a shelf.

I definitely have seen key chains with a die embedded in clear plastic. Here are 2 examples, but I've seen others:You could totally sell them as clocks and keychains.
