For "coming down the pipeline" they're essentially free.

Today, the c910 is an Apache 2, hardware proven out of order core on GitHub here https://github.com/T-head-Semi/openc910 a little slower than an RPi3's core.

What’s the price per unit?

There are no license fees if that's what you're asking.

Additionally it's very competitive in PPA metrics for it's gate count, so cheaper than similar cores in terms of wafer area as well.

I think the point is, very few people are looking to buy some RTL, they want the silicon. So the question is what's the price of the silicon? My understanding is anything comparable to the SoC in the RPi boards is still quite a lot pricier.

Pretty damn cheap.

Every other place seems to claim that the RRP is $119. So this must be a mistake/scam? Or did the price go down this much?
