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.

It is essentially a B2B for a deep-pocket kind of customer. Think energy, defense, or a big financial company (or fund).

If you can calculate and iterate fast something you want to build / identify where it is feasible to drill / etc. then the price of this is peanuts compared with doing the wrong thing (tm).

It's an eight figure product, so regardless of how you or anyone else on a forum feels about it (I mean, everyone likes to window shop, including me), I suspect their sales pipelines aren't going to be hamstrung by it.

Just like IBM mainframes, you won't be able to just "click here to buy" these.

They do seem to sell actual systems, though. For several millions a piece, so not exactly a product for the masses.

These types of monster-chips are probably sold as part of a solution for a specific problem so they probably don't actually have a fixed price in the sense that no one buys just a chip.

It's one of those products where if you have to ask, you can't afford it.
