Yes, they are researched approximations, not guesses. We compile them from public sources (earnings calls, analyst reports, teardowns, public price pages), so they are directionally accurate and good for modeling, but they are not official quotes and the exact figure for your deal will differ. Foundries don't publish contract pricing, and big buyers get volume discounts we can't see. So: trust the shape and the order of magnitude, and confirm the precise number with the vendor before you transact. Cited pricing with named sources lives on Market Data; accelerator specs cross-reference the Epoch AI database (CC-BY). Nothing here is confidential or scraped contract data.
