off topic and vary naive question, sorry:
bmw postulated that the cost reduction of moving to .13um is less than expected (by analysts) because intel migrated to a larger chip (p4 vs pIII). There is a lot of way of calculating cost reduction:
1) using cost per average chip (bmw's assumption)
2) using cost of production of similar chips in which case size would not matter
When intel said 25% cost reduction which method was implied?
Best Regards
