minimum 5.5mm^2 is required, so we are talking about 3575 euros here. Besides, it is very rare that you can get a production grade chip on the first try, bug happens all the time, you might need 2 or 3 or even more tries to get a working product.

You might, but there are plenty of examples of first Silicon working, the trick is to spend a lot of time on getting your simulations right.
