Brian,

Intel manufacturing cost for PII with cartridge should be under $100. NSM should have the similar manfuacturing costs as AMD once both of them shrunk to .25u process. With the supplies from both TSMC and UMC, NSM is going to be the most cost effective x86 CPU manuacturer and have more fab capacity than AMD if they could get the design wins from these electronic appliance manufacturers and tier 1.

Someone posted costs from a Busniessweek article on the Intel thread.
Pentium II-266 was $105
Pentium MMX-233 was $50
Pentium Classic-200 was $40
Pentium Pro-200 was $144
AMD K6-166 was $70
MediaGX-180 was $45 but this is a multifunction chip.

At can't attest to the accuracy.
If you want the link look on the Intel thread this morning.
