Perhaps?
It is the single most expensive component on the boards other than possibly the ASIC itself.
$20 ea and removing 4 per board is $80 per board or $320 per Jupiter.
If they shipped 5,000 Jupiters that is $1.6M USD.
I think we can safely say it was definitely.
Do we know around how many units they shipped? I've missed the post. That's money that will go towards their next mask so that's good news
