operation cost, and 30% per unit for fab depreciation cost, the total cost per unit will be around $50 per CPU"

Wake up time!

AMD sold 1.5 million K6's for 169 million. They LOST $89 million last quarter.

Assuming the losses were all due to the K6, their actual cost per K6 chip was (169 million +89 million)/1.5 million = $172/K6.

That was their cost last quarter.

Last quarter they "supposedly" solved their yield problems.

Your $50 is so far off the mark it's almost funny!
