If we get an 8nm SOC then $350 should be a fair price. That node is CHEAP nowadays for low end markets like 3050. Even $299 should be possible considering the competition:
- PlayStation Portal is $199 with a comparable shell, screen and battery.
- Steam Deck is $399 with more expensive components and production node and isn't directly subsidized by game licenses
- A RTX 3050 can be had for $180 and a 4060 (TSMC 4N) for $320
Samsung 8nm belongs to <$300 devices.
