PB, I believe Intel made 59% gross margins on what MDR estimates was a $227 ASP. Big difference in the calculation you are speculating on. OK, Let's use your numbers. The average CPU cost to Intel is about $140. Celeron 400 sells for $90 on pricewatch. Intel loses about $50per sale, not including the distributor markup. Throw in another $10 for the markup and Intel loses $60 per sale. Throw in an OEM discount and Intel is losing $70 per Celeron. Scumbria
