Re: "If 8" wafers cost ~$1,500 and Intel sells PIIIs for >$750 then it only takes two CPU sales to pay for the the entire wafer. With >30,000 mm2 on a wafer, that leaves a lot of "free" chips to package and sell for a profit."

So how much do you think it costs them to make a Celeron? <ggg>

Craig,

Re: " If 8" wafers cost ~$1,500 and Intel sells PIIIs for >$750 then it
only takes two CPU sales to pay for the the entire wafer."

Craig, Please do a quick calculation to estimate the revenue generated
from a single PIII 8" wafer ... Hint: It is in excess of $75,000 per
wafer. Not bad, eh ??

Make It So,
Yousef
