In what is a testament to the craziness of the contemporary AI buildout age, a square millimeter of 1b DRAM is now costlier than a similar-sized TSMC N2 wafer, despite the fact that the latter is much more difficult to fabricate. A square millimeter of 1b DRAM wafer costs $0.654, while TSMC’s N2 wafer costs $0.42 per square millimeter According to Kernel Insight and as quoted by ZDNet, the price of a 300 millimeter TSMC N3 (3nm) wafer is around $20,000, while the N2 wafer of the same size goes for around $30,000. This then equates to a per square […]
