<OK, lets throw Xeon into the equation. Xeon has margins of several hundred percent. Given an average margin of 60%, that lowers the margins on the desktop CPUs down to much less than the 60% I used earlier- meaning that Celeron loses even more money than I earlier estimated.> Scumbria, I can't believe you are saying this with a straight face. You totally ignored EVERYTHING I just explained to you, and you twist Xeon into your own flawed argument. I just explained to you how the cost to manufacture each Celeron, including the appropriate share of R&D, is much much less than the cost to manufacture each Xeon. Not only that, but Celeron has very high volumes, so the R&D per unit is very low, compared to the low-volume Xeon, whose R&D per unit is large. Yet you continue to hold on to your blatantly flawed logic, twisting statistics into falsehoods. <Please try to respond without insults. I belies your lack of confidence in your position.> The fact is you deserve it. Tenchusatsu
