Dear Kash:

This is the best Intel can hope for:

1M Xeon III @ 700 ASP = 700M
100K Williamette @ 700 ASP = 70M
50K Itanium @ 1000 ASP = 50M
16.85M Coppermine @ 150 ASP = 2527M
10M Celeron II @ 80 ASP = 800M
10M Timna @ 50 ASP = 500M

Totals
38M @ 122.29 ASP = 4647M

A far cry from where they are now with a profit of near zero.

A better mix from their perspective:

1M Xeons III @ 700 = 700M
100K Williamette @ 700 = 70M
50K Itanium @ 1000 = 50M
28M Coppermine @ 150 = 4200M
6M Celeron II @ 80 = 480M
2.85M Timna @ 50 = 142M

Totals:
38M @ 148.47 = 5642M

They would make about 1B plus 1B from Cap Gains plus 300M in Flash equals 2.3 B assuming no losses in other areas (not happened in last 3 years). This would be a profit letdown. They can not afford a low ASP processor when they are "Capacity Constrained". A more likely bet would be between the two estimates.
