GF - <When die size is increased to included L2 cache, a very expensive logic process is used to make SRAMs, which though not exactly cheap, are not the high margin product one hopes for in microprocessors.>

GF, I don't believe the margins are quite as bad as you may think, and the processes themselves (w/ on-die), not as expensive as you may think. Just my unsubstantiated 0.02.

BTW, what happens when one goes to 300mm wafers? If you've posted on this previously, I apologize in advance.
