Hardware costs are easy to determine, but design costs are more complicated. This includes the salary of engineers, EDA, the cost of development tools, equipment costs, site costs and so on. In addition, there is also a large part of IP costs. If it is an autonomous CPU, it is OK (an autonomous micro-structure can be made without third-party IP); if it is an IC design company in the ARM camp, it needs to purchase a large number of IP, which is expensive, so it is not easy to quantify the specific design costs of various IC design companies at home and abroad.
According to the pricing strategy of international low-profit chip design companies 8:20 pricing method, that is, the price is 20 when the hardware cost is 8, and the price of autonomous CPU-X is 212 yuan when the output is 100,000 pieces. Don't think this price is high, in fact, it is very low, Intel's general pricing strategy is 8:35, AMD has reached 8:50 in the history of the production of 100,000 pieces, the imported chip autonomous CPU-Y also adopts 8:20 pricing, its price is 305 dollars; The autonomous CPU-Y is also priced 8:20 at 1 million units and costs $75. In the case of production of 10 million, autonomous CPU-Y also adopts the 8:20 pricing method, and its price is 52.5 yuan.
As a result, production volume is critical to reducing the cost/price of cpus, which is why Intel and Apple have been able to use relatively expensive manufacturing processes and rake in excess profits.
