As I said it is a back of the envelop, or approximate, analysis. However 80% of Intels revenues come from CPUs. I did round off a bit. Some of the information about the support chip business is difficult to estimate because it is relatively smaller. I believe that while not perfectly accurate there is something to be learned by considering these numbers.

Elmer,

Alpha pricing could cut Intel's throat

Information shown to The Register reveals that the Alpha partnership has more aggressive pricing plans for the 64-bit chip than first realised.

Last week we wrote that 21164A 533MHz Alpha CPUs cost $250 in quantity but an informed source has revealed that the price is nearer to $180 when ordered in volume. (Stories: Dell using Alpha chips in servers and Intel's Merced undercut by Compaq's Alpha)
