>why does the cost and cost share of software grow so dramatically at smaller nodes?
My guess is that the main reason is market segmentation. If you're willing to work at a smaller node, then you're willing to spend more money, and the software vendors can charge more.
- IshKebab 8y agoI'm pretty sure that is the development cost for the compilers, etc. You're not paying some other company to do that.
- microcolonel 8y agoYeah, I initially got the impression they were talking about the design automation software for the node, but I'm not really sure if that's the case.
