Since this chip is a whole wafer we can make some back-off the-envelope calculations.
Let's pretend this was an Intel product and Intel's typical yield was like 150 CPUs / wafer. Using high-end Intel CPUs as a price-point, we would already be in the $300,000 price range for this chip.
But this isn't an Intel product and not made at scale, more likely to-order. Further they don't just sell you the wafer/chip, but a complete solution. They have to recoup development costs with much fewer units sold.
I wouldn't be surprised if this goes for $2m - $5m.
Edit: The previous generation of this product was sold "for a couple million" according to some voices on the internet.
