There were some posts here recently with some estimates of wafer costs (including processing) and the numbers ranged from $1,500 to $2,000, I think, and this was for .18u, 200mm wafers.

His numbers also require 10 20K fabs running for Intel. Or 20 10K fabs. or 40 5K fabs (40 fabs as big as Dresden!!!). Pretty ridiculous.
