Dan, Re: "Intel's costs are 4 to 5 times those of AMD" Why don't you try thinking before you speak. It would save you a little from being beat up constantly from people that can see through your gross exaggerations. How would you estimate die costs, first of all? The silicon side of a CPU is basically the cost of a silicon wafer divided by how many chips can come off of that wafer. The number of chips that can come off of a wafer is a function of die size (which Intel's is larger) and yield strength (which Intel is also larger). I'm willing to bet that Intel's costs are nearly what AMD's costs are, since AMD's yields are probably much lower than Intel's. Messing with 70nm gate lengths tends to lower yields, you know. wanna_bmw
