This is a 10nm processor, right ? So a 10mn processor can be as fast as a 5mn processor but at more than double the voltage ? Not so bad. What would be the perf of this processor with TSMC 5nm tech ?

Took me a few minutes to figure it out. chipotle_coyote comment make sens if the tax is 800k. 50m*0.04 = 2m = 800k+600k+600k The tax is not 800k but 80k though. So it should be 80k+960k+960k. So you could pay the tax, draw out $960K a year
