If the yield of AMD's .35 um process on k6 is 50%, then its cost of dies (not including employee salary and operation cost) will be close to $7 per die, and add on $25 for package and test, the cost of assembled unit will be $32 per CPU. Let's add up 30% per unit for employee salary and operation cost, and 30% per unit for fab depreciation cost, the total cost per unit will be around $50 per CPU. With selling
price of $80, which is 60% of net profit margin, I did not see AMD anywhere from
bankruptcy. AMD's CPU's business will make it tons of money, the problem is
its business of other product lines.
