There are so many variables.

*No* indication? Seeing one part that costs $5.00 in-stock Qty=1K
and another that costs $0.50 in-stock Qty=1K doesn't give you any
indication at all about what the Qty=100K from whoever has the best
price will be?

To the OP: Elan/EMC, WinBond, and SunPlus are the lowest cost
parts if you ever get into real high quantity production instead
of a measly 100K parts. And yes, they all sell bare dies that
you connect through wire bonding.
