Saturn V: <$780 million covers depreciation of much more than Wafer manufacturing equipment.> I've repeated five times already that I only attributed 75% of Intel's depreciation to CPU production. You miss the point of my posts, which is to determine how much depreciation expense is associated with each CPU sold by Intel. Paul Engel said this: My guess is that 15 to 18 per cent of Intel's business is NON x86 CPU in nature. Paul Engel certainly knows more about Intel than you do, do you agree? He was asked whether his estimate of $50 per CPU cost (for the 0.25µ Pentium II) excluded non-fixed costs such as depreciation. His answer: "Of course."
