MDR Cost Model for AMD and Intel processors:
This was published in the latest Microprocessor Report, July 12, 1999.
I'm posting it here for everyone's benefit. I don't know what's
included in the manufacturing costs listed here (silicon, testing,
packaging, yield, more?), but it does give a good basis for comparison.
Athlon, 0.25u: $90 ($105 including module)
Pentium III, 0.25u: $60 ($75 including module)
Pentium II, 0.25u: $55 ($70 including module)
Dixon, 0.18u: $65 (PBGA-615, Mobile Pentium II at 400 MHz and above)
Dixon, 0.25u: $60 (PBGA-615, Mobile Pentium II from 300 to 400 MHz)
Mendocino, 0.25u: $55 (PPGA-370, Celeron w/ 128K on-die L2 cache)
Rise mP6, 0.25u: $45
AMD K6-III, 0.25u: $45
PPC 750, 0.27u: $40
AMD K6-2, 0.25u: $35
Cyrix MII, 0.25u: $35
WinChip 2, 0.25u: $25
