    One would need competitive markets (not only at the fab level) for “billion in savings” to be passed on the consumer.

      Well, it’s an engineer who said it, not a sales rep.

        Don’t think TSMC’s customer have much leverage either. It’s not like they can choose another fab if these hypothetical savings are passed down to (or even shared with) them.

          They always are!

          But the original prices without such advancements would be much higher, you see :D
