EP, "$2000 per wafer, including depreciation is too high"

OK, lets say depreciation was $1000 per wafer, labor was $400 per wafer and materials were $200 per wafer.

Of Intel's $780M of depreciation, most is depreciation of semiconductor fab equipment, lets say, $500M.

To cause $500M of depreciation, at $1,000 per wafer, Intel had to process 500,000 wafers.

Intel produced 26M CPU's with 500,000 wafers. Thats 52 CPU's per wafer.

Intel sucks.
