Probably, but until we actually get some A14 die shots I don't know how aggressive Apple has been with caches and the like with some redundancy that can be fused off for yield. Again though all the numbers are napkin math and trying to give some fudge factor in both directions, so conservative on the number of chips total (I didn't try to calculate exactly how many full squares fit I just took off an entire outer radius) and generous on the yield. Mainly I was trying to reason about the question of "even if everything goes great, and even if it's something smaller not a monster desktop GPU or the like, is it still a non-trivial cost?" to which it seems like the answer is yes. If it's actually a smaller yield that just makes it get even more expensive, but yield itself won't be a silver bullet.
