That RAM is unified though, not a good comparison.

Also, just because something holds true at large numbers doesn't mean it scales all the way down. Either due to economies of scale, or the negligibly different architecture/components at that size.

The RAM is ordinary LPDDR5 organized into what is de facto just a large number of memory channels. It's not HBM or anything exotic, the cost of the RAM chips themselves are the same cost they are anywhere else.
