"way expensive" you mean 10% more?

The article says the GDDR5 costs $28 more.

Are we reading the same article?

They use the same wafer size with the same final cost to produce... 40% bigger chip will be always expensive no matter what... even if the wafer give 100% funcional chips you will have more units from a smaller chip than a bigger one.

I need the real die size from both APU + the yields % to make the estimate for the cost of these APUs but the PS4's APU will be cheaper.

Please, my friend. Let´s try it again.

"way expensive" you say is 10% more. Are you sugesting it´s more?

And GDDR5 vs DDR3 is close to 50% more, compensating the price of the APU.
