What is the cost of fabs and R&D at 22-nm?
R&D cost : $1.3 billion for the 22- to 12-nm nodes
Fab cost $4.5-to-$6 billion for the 22- to 12-nm nodes.
Together, some $7B. Seems too much for a small chip production. The same sum as for one Las Vegas big Casino house?
Sounds like big gamble ! Isn't it?
