If Intel are stockpiling 10nm parts now (Q2) so they'd have something on the shelves for Q4 then I don't see how their 10nm facilities are in a good shape. Furthermore, when everybody in the industry uses the 'x% yield' metrics, and Intel is using phrases like 'improving at a faster rate than anticipated', etc, to communicate yields, that means their proper yield metrics are far from looking good.
