This is the chip IBM previously revealed would approach 5 GHz clock rates. If that is indeed their target, it makes sense they could be having real yield problems in production.

What's worse is that IBM even made the BlueGene to have numberous low-clock-speed chips to deal with the performance issue. The hardware answer seems to be multicore CPUs alongside co-processors; this solution has low power requirements and a relatively low cost of adoption.
