Paul -

So MPR is estimating NorthWood die cost at $55.

213.219.40.69

I think that's way too high. That would mean that at $2000 a wafer MPR is expecting Intel to get only ~36 good NorthWood die. That's AMD type yield. More realistically they probably mean total cost not die cost. Assuming ~$25 for packaging and final test that would give a die cost of ~$30 or only about 67 good die per wafer. Again AMD yield and way too low. My model predicts a yield of a little over 100 die per wafer for a normal fab. That would bring the die cost to around $20. All this assumes a $2000 wafer cost.
