Allow me to doubt this. Intel Arc A770 16GB has a TSMC manufactured die but it's much larger in size that an RTX 3060 12GB sells for way less, also at a (small) profit.
- reaperman 3y agoThis is a weird comparison. I don't think either of these are intended for the datacenter? So this would be a price comparison between two gaming / general purpose GPUs? The A770 is going for $350ish, is manufactured on a higher tech node (TSMC N6), and has a die size of 406mm square. The 3060 is going for $250ish, was manufactured on two lower tech nodes (originally Samsung 8nm then moved to TSMC 7nm), and has a die size of 392.5. I'm not sure the description "much larger in size" makes sense here. If anything it seems like pricing follows node-area costs.
