Elmer,

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

A little bit of silicon + a bunch of fabs + tens of thousands of employees + billions of dollars of employee stock options + billions of dollars of repurchased stock + R&D + Marketing + Insurance + Administration + Lawyers + ......

Elmer, re: "much do you think it costs them to make a Celeron?" Not much.

Intel probably spends more on advertising than on silicon. At 0.18u and below, Celerons will be like potato chips -- where the packaging costs more than the contents.
