For AMD, if the yield was improved to be as high as 80% with 150 gross dies on 8" wafer with
0.35 um process, the cost per die can be as low as $8.3, and the unit cost can be as low as
$30 per unit.
With 8" wafer, 0.25 um process, assume the yield is 65% with 340 gross dies, the cost can be
as low as $5.5 per die. and the cost per unit can be as low as $27.5.

So sells for $75 per unit, the profit margin is not bad at all. The MPU division of AMD
is making tons of money, and AMD as a whole lose money is not because of its CPU business. AMD should close up all its other divisions, and concentrate all its resources on CPU business.
