As usual, volume defines the component pricing. For the most part, for a few pieces here and there, use their / Mouser online pricing. Edge appears to offer more variety on this product line. Higher volumes, negotiate with them.

PS: Just checked Mouser - no links at all to Gowin. NO idea what is going on here but could be related to the USA first theme. USA / North America is SO dead when it comes to high tech compared to Asia. When CNY holidays were on - the world stopped still. It was impossible for us to beg for feedback to source a relatively common LPDDR3 memory device from SkHynix / Micron - one click when Asia opened and the goods are here already. USA has lost the tech battle.

Hope this helps.

Mouser probably stopped carrying Gowin when the US Government declared them to be CCMC (Communist Chinese Military Company).  This directly only impacts investments in Gowin, but if they are pushed to the next level it means US companies can't ship their products.  I have to back away from using their parts because my stuff is mostly sold to the government.  Too much risk. 

Gowin is petitioning the government to be taken off the list.  We'll see how that works out for them.
