Paul -
The relative high prices of XEON CPUs are actually quite LOW compared to their real competition - Alpha and UltraSParc CPUs/workstations.

Do you have an estimate for the competitive pricing for Alpha parts vs. Xeon? I think the appropriate comparison would probably be CPU/chipset combination.

I doubt that there is any way to get the 'real' data on Alpha costs since the majority were internally used by DEC and they could claim whatever 'cost' they wanted. Likewise outside sales of Alpha parts would not reflect real costs since much of the underlying engineering work (as well as some fixed costs) were probably subsidized by DEC. Intel will be in a better position than DEC ever was to determine the real costs and market price for Alpha.
