PETZ - Re: "$10, cost of silicon per chip, goes up to $14" You are so far off base its ridiculous. Your other number are as equally absurd, Paul

John, Re: "Yea, lets see: $15, cost of depreciation per chip, stays the same $15, cost of R&D per chip, stays the same $5, cost of packaging per chip, stays the same $10, cost of silicon per chip, goes up to $14 $10, other costs, stays the same" As usual John, you are wrong ... The depreciation and R&D both go up per chip because you get fewer per wafer. The correct answer was that these costs stay the same for each wafer. You're in "over your head", John. <ggg> Make It So, Yousef
