with unit pricing expected to range between $180 and $200. In contrast, Qualcomm’s latest premium SoC reportedly costs smartphone manufacturers as much as $280
How is 180 less than half of 280? The saving is “only” 36%.
What is actually the case is that the Qualcomm is 55% more expensive, which is a huge difference from the claim of the headline.
MediaTek being 55% cheaper would be: $280 -55% = $126.
