I stand by what I wrote.

Would obviously highly depend on volumes, timelines they committed to, layers, materials, and specific devices and tweaks they are paying for. Could be less per transistor than Apple, I can't see hwy it would be vastly more (unless we're talking about extremely limited volums).
