Robert,

You are correct that a new process must be depreciated into the cost of the part. The die size numbers I quoted earlier were all for .35u

>>Die cost is a function of die size. In .35u these are the die sizes:
>>
>> C6 PMMX K6 M2
>> -- ---- -- --
>> 88mm2 128 162 197
>>

Next year everybody will be in .25u. The smaller die will be cheaper.

IBM Power PC die are expensive because they only sell a couple dozen of them per year.
