Paul,
What is Intel's cost on an ENTIRE P-II though. Saying that:
For Intel's 0.25 micron Pentium II, my estimate is that their cost of good silicon die (no packaging) is in the $25 to $30 range and possibly lower.
Is like saying:
Yeah this GM car costs us $500 to make, but that only includes the engine, not the body or the wiring, seats, steering wheel, AM/FM/CD Player, Air COnditioning, ABS, Traction Control, etc, etc, etc.
Would you agree that Intel's per part costs is likely around the $65 - $70 area (including 512K L2 cache, packaging of the chip, the P-II casing, assembly and testing?
