Pete,

At $5K in processing costs per wafer, 200K wafers a week would require $1 billion a week or $13 billion a quarter.

There were some posts here recently with some estimates of wafer costs (including processing) and the numbers ranged from $1,500 to $2,000, I think, and this was for .18u, 200mm wafers.
