Here is some info from article posted here today.
From dataquest

One factor for the market may be the industry's ability to squeeze more production out of existing capacity. The use of 0.25-micron process technology on 8-inch wafers can boost to about 1,000 the number of 16-Mbit raw dice per wafer, compared with about 400 dice with the earlier 0.4- or 0.5-micron process. Processing costs remain roughly the same, at about $1,600 to $1,800 per wafer.

Maybe some can do some costs based on a more stable cost to
do one 8 inch waffer !

example:
At .25u $1800/1000 = $1.80
At .4 .5u $1800/400 = $4.50
