That PCB is probably a few dollars per unit. The die is probably the same as the one in the 5070. I've no doubt it's an expensive product to build, but that doesn't mean the price is cost plus markup.

Currently, the 5070 is expected to use the GB205 die while the 5090 is expected to use the GB202 die:

It is unlikely that the 5070 and 5090 share the same die when the 4090 and 4080 did not share same die.

Also, could an electrical engineer estimate how much this costs to manufacture:

Is the last link wrong? It doesn't mention cost.

The PCB cost did not leak. We need an electrical engineer to estimate the cost based on what did leak.

It’s not. 14L PCB are expensive. When I looked at Apple cost for their PCB it was probably closer to $50, and they have smaller area
