re The difference between 8" and 12" wafers (200 and 300mm) is more like 125% more not 25% as stated in the article.

What the actual cost per die is (taking into account the higher wafer costs) is another matter

25% is in full agreement with Paul O's forecasted cost saving as a result of 130 nm and 300 mm. Hector, in contrast topped the forecast with 40% (which is, however, *just* on his powerpoint slide)
