Is Apple A17 Pro more expensive than Snapdragon 8 Gen2?

According to the latest report, Apple's 3nm process A17 Pro chip is only applicable to iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Compared with last year's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, the A17 Pro is slightly more expensive, but still has lower manufacturing costs.

A17 Pro is Apple's first chipset manufactured with TSMC's 3nm process, and its single chip cost is $130. Despite the advanced manufacturing technology and the yield problem, Apple still achieved a price difference of only $20 between the two chips. This shows that Apple has a strong bargaining power in negotiations.

It is worth mentioning that although the price is higher than the flagship model of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 used by Qualcomm partners, the A17 Pro is still cheaper than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. The price of each set is $160, while the A17 Pro is only used for Apple's iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, and is not sold to other companies.

It should be noted that since chip manufacturers aim to make profits, they need to charge higher fees when cooperating with Qualcomm and other partners. This may mean that the price of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 will eventually exceed that of A17 Pro. However, Apple can still pay royalties from Android mobile phone The manufacturer earns revenue there.

In a word, the 3nm process A17 Pro chip launched by Apple has performed well in terms of cost, bargaining power and profitability. Although the price is relatively high, it provides better performance and stability for consumers.
