<Applying your margins to my estimated ASPs yields the following costs:

Xeon: 25% of $1500 is $375
PIII: 35% of $250 is $80
Celeron: 45% of $75 is $35>

Tad did say that his numbers might not be exact. Some people already challenged his percentages when he first posted his message. But he was more concerned with conveying a point than with being precise with the numbers.

Re: "I am of the belief that the central issue is one of allocation of overhead and research expenses which is ultimately as much political as it is legal and therefore difficult to ascertain ahead of time"

Regardless of determining certainty, those costs are spread across a base product that has produced 100s of millions of units over a 3+ year period. That can really spread the costs out.
