> 160 GB LPDDR5 is ~$1,200 retail so the card could be sold for $2,000.

Prices are set by what the market will bear, not the lowest possible price where they could break even on the BOM and manufacturing costs.

The high cost of the LPDDR5X should be a clue that this is going to be in the $10K range, not the $2K range.

It’d be a disaster for Intel if it sold for less than 3k, personally I think they’re aiming for break even at 5k a pop at least, and I wouldn’t be surprised to advertise 2x memory at half nvidia price, which would put it at ~15-20k? and a healthy margin which they need like oxygen now. Of course it’s all for naught if it doesn’t perform compute-wise.
