Note that the $1B figure in the article’s headline comes from a different article [1] which references a podcast [2] where analyst Jay Goldberg estimates that the tape-out costs would have reached $1B for the M3.

A fourth-hand report of a guess? This is the journalism we know and love!

This is most Apple rumor “news” articles. A sentence worth of questionable info was relayed from anonymous source A to source B to outlet C. Outlet D sees it and expands that sentence into a thousand word article with filler and old info.

My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with a girl who estimated that the tape-out costs would have reached $1B for the M3!

actually the timestamps show that the wccftech reporting was published after the Tom's Hardware article.
