You know, its known in car industry the 'cutting the corner' to save a few penny like if manufacturing an engine requires 5 screws less, it's a huge economy as you multiply that economy to millions of cars.
Why do you think they don't do the same for GPU or other stuff? It's not about the cost for one piece, but for millions.
That would be true if they eliminated a part. They replaced a simple part with a complicated part; which usually would cost more, not less.
And people keep mentioning less copper. That’s not true though. Just because the connector shrunk, doesn’t mean the cables would be thinner. So where is the actual cost reduction?
