agreed RAMP is going to be costlier initially but Intel will spread it over multiple products on 18A over a longer period of time

I'm sure that is true, but my point is that you have 4 different die rolled up into one package. Without knowing what kind of pricing...

i think 18A is going to be the costliest of the bunch considering die size the base die is 22nm FFL and is cost optimized so 274mm2...

I don't think it will be that simple. The compute tile is 18A the graphics tile is either 3nm or TSMC and the platform controller tile...

same Xe, Intel 3 +19% larger than TSMC N3E, if the extracted numbers from the cartoon are correct
