 The lower pincount, lower power, and higher BGA pitch is all to reduce
 the cost of product development when it comes to PCB design and layout:
 
-* Above 4 watts requires metal packages, thermal management and much
-  pricier PMICs.
-* 0.6mm pitch BGA and below requires much more expensive PCBA techniques.

+  equipment and more costly PCBA techniques.
 * Above 600 pins begins to reduce production yields as well as increase
   the cost of testing and packaging.
