Gary,

Also I don't know about how the amortization should be done
in general about the R&D cost for the P6 if instead of a
straight line model, what if they amortize most of it in the
early stage of the development say Pentium Pro ?


The Celeron core is exactly the same core as PII, and 90% similar to PIII and Coppermine. To calculate Celeron expenses differently from PIII or Coppermine expenses would not be very realistic.

All:

With all due respect, I think the development cost for any of the p6 based cpus have long since been recovered.. geezus.. Intel has only sold about 150Million of those cores..

Regards,

Steve
