If they only used it in their own devices, it would probably be too expensive. If they sold those devices to other manufacturers, they could probably get enough volume to at least avoid taking big losses. It's less about making money from selling the chips, and more about keeping the hardware behind the Android ecosystem competitive.

I wonder if the other OEMs would buy it. I could see Samsung wanting to make their own or at least not strengthen their dependence on Google.
