Did you use one of those calculators where you input defect rates and such?
Because I remember costs not scaling linearly. The bigger the dies get the price goes up by alot. 

Anyways its not just the die size and cost of that, the heat is going to be more (like ~250w vs ~350w) and thus the case size and cooling solutions,
everything is impacted.  Also if you want it to function as a hybrid pc, it might need more ram... like a list of small things.
If its dual booting, it might need to have 2 OS's installed on the hard drive, which takes up space ect.

It already factors that in. For example, in that estimate, the chance of a good die per candidate was about 10% higher for the smaller die. You can get that difference to be much higher with different defect rates, but I assume N3 will be reasonably mature by 2027 after ~3 years in the market.

As for the second point, I agree.
