Kash, <complete packaging/test cost is in $10-20 range> Are you sure you are not talking about SOIC-like packaging? As I understand, the packaging for Celeron has at least two steps: first the die is packaged into a BGA plastic package (similar to Pentium-I-MMX), then it must be soldered onto the slot-1 multilayer printed board, with about 100 other surface-mounted resistors and capacitors... Are you still sure about $10-$20 range?
