- geezerjay 8y agoModularity helps cutting production costs, but that's just a lower bound. Prices are set based on marketing strategies and on how much the company is able to get for a product.
- snovv_crash 8y agoWith a monolithic die that lower bound is not linear though: the bigger the die, the higher a chance of defects and the rarer the parts that don't need to have sections fused off. With a modular design the lower bound is, indeed, linear, allowing AMD to severely undercut Intel.
