> That sounds way too high for mask costs. You're definitely looking at 7 figures, but I don't think they've yet hit 8.

7nm logic mask set costs are estimated at $10.5M. Of course you could always use a slightly less leading-edge node and save a lot of money.

Huh you might be right, if only just. It says it's an estimate, but that probably means 3nm nodes will be >$10MM for sure
