- akmittal 5y agoI don't think it would be that much cheaper to make 28nm now. 2-3 generations behind mainstream should be cheapest. PI 4 was launched around 2 years back. So if PI5 is launched today they will mist probably go for 12nm.
- whoknowswhat11 5y agoDepends on volume. Tape out / design / validation / mask costs and other nonrecurring costs get high or very low based on node size. For Apple volume latest and later nodes may be cheapest per unit performance. Most folks aren't Apple
- 0-_-0 5y agoAccording to this, 28 nm is indeed the cheapest: http://www.monolithic3d.com/blog/moores-law-did-indeed-stop-at-28nm http://www.monolithic3d.com/blog/moores-law-did-indeed-stop-...

- reportingsjr 5y agoEvery new processing node has been the most expensive processing node ever! Transistor costs have continued their trend of decreasing for every node. It's possible and likely that there will be a blip for the next two or so years due to the recent supply chain struggles, but I'm willing to bet they will continue decreasing for a while after this shakes out. http://www.imf.org/~/media/Files/Conferences/2017-stats-forum/session-6-kenneth-flamm.ashx http://www.imf.org/~/media/Files/Conferences/2017-stats-foru...
- jbverschoor 5y agoI dunno. Besides the capex, a wafer is about 25k. That doesn’t really change, right?
