Is there any evidence for this? what volume do you mean by "mass production gadget"?
- yitchelle 5y agoI highly doubt if any real data is published all of them are commercially sensitive and are under NDA. Mass production in this context is at least 1 million units.
- robinsoh 5y agoCould you point to any data, circumstantial or otherwise that indicates a 1 cent device of this type? Perhaps you could elaborate on why you believe such a price point would be achievable or even offered. Otherwise, I'm sure you can understand how the rest of us might have difficulty evaluating the veracity of your claim.
- yitchelle 5y agoEEVblog has a video of what could be possible. He is talking about 3c part. With direct negotiation at massive volumes, sub 1c part is definitely possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYhAGnsnO7w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYhAGnsnO7w What has your experience been with the very cheap parts?
- baybal2 5y agoThere are MCUs that cost less than 1c
