The most advanced 3-nanometer SoC Apple A17 Pro turned out to be cheaper than Snapdragon 8 Gen 2

But 20 dollars more expensive than A16 Bionic

Despite the state-of-the-art 3nm process technology, the Apple A17 Pro SoC is reportedly less expensive than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.

Nikkei estimates that each A17 Pro SoC costs $130. That’s more expensive than the A16 Bionic at $110, but the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 costs an impressive $160.

Of course, a direct comparison here is somewhat incorrect, since Apple does not sell its platforms to anyone, but in the case of the Snapdragon SoC, there is Qualcomm, which buys platforms from TSMC and then sells them to smartphone manufacturers. Of course, making money from it.

Against this background, it will be quite interesting to find out how much the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 will cost.
