<They were probably talking manufacturing cost. I'm including sales and marketing and generaland administrative costs as well.> Then why aren't you removing that as well, especially since a low-volume product means there's more of this overhead per Xeon? I can go on and on about nitpicks, like that rather cheap price of $15 for a Xeon-sized heatsink which not only has to dissipate enormous amounts of heat, but also has to be ten times more reliable in order to be fit for mission-critical servers. But I'd rather not, since we've beaten this topic to death, and both sides are going to skew the facts one way or another. If there is truly a case for suing Intel for dumping Celerons, by all means tell the FTC and DOJ. I'm sure they'd love to see that the economists they hired are being overpaid because a few people on an Internet discussion forum can use elementary-school mathematics to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Intel is cooking the books.
