Yeah fair, my comment was a terrible comment.

What I really meant was total production cost + reasonable amortization cost for the development/tape out, which is of course is huge even if this chip was mass produced.

The point kinda stands though, this thing is collectively way too hard to fab + assemble to sell to consumers at any reasonable cost, especially on top of the massive R&D AMD, TSMC and everyone along the huge chain put into it.

Its not like a 4090 or Apple Silicon where the production is reasonably cheap, but margins are super high because they can be super high.
