Re: "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. "
John, I am not a finance person so I can't present the numbers to you, however I get my information from people I respect and have every reason to believe they do know what they are talking about. I'm sorry I can't convince you with facts, I don't have them to present and unlike others I will not try to defend what I can't prove. As confident as I am, I can't prove my claims. Believe what you want.
