I could not believe my eyes when I read "The chips are priced at $2,995 each, said Intel." CPU
for $3k. Intel is not planning to sell a lot of those, is not it?


Albert,

This contradicts Lumberjack Paul's "way north of 140 npw" yield. It appears Intel is getting only a few dice per wafer on this type of chip or Intel thinks the customers are idiots. I don't know others. I won't pay this kind of money for a chip that prints "For Idiots Only" or "Idiots Inside". Hey, maybe that's what on it insider the mask set.
