That's quite cheap. Consider how gigantic a wafer is. I can of course only run calculations against the half price 7nm node but you will see...Even the mammoth (as in, reticle limited) nVidia A100 is just 826mm^2. https://anysilicon.com/die-per-wafer-formula-free-calculators/ https://anysilicon.com/die-per-wafer-formula-free-calculator... says 57 of those fit on a single wafer. This table says the price of a 7nm wafer was 9346 so nVidia paid about 164 USD for each of those. The A100 card -- of course piled with RAM but still -- sells for ten grand.
