so how are we going to make and sell ARM cpus for under $10 retail a piece at a few K qty? digikey, mouser, arrow will still want ridiculous markups and there is a cartel that controls pricing. cost of labour is much higher in the US than asia and the skilled labour is missing. how is all this going to work? by 2024, we will be paying 4K for a TV and 20K for a laptop.
