<We should apportion 41% of these costs to the Celeron (9.77M units out of 23.87 total units). ... Perhaps Intel lawyers would try to apportion the MG&A and/or the R&D proportionate to the revenues realized from the 3 product lines rather than according to the number of units shipped, which is clearly illogical> You mean just as illogical as apportioning these costs proportionate to the number of units shipped? Wow, that clearly shows that Intel spent much less developing and marketing Xeon as they did on Celeron. After all, if Intel shipped eight times as many Celerons as Xeons, then clearly Intel spent eight times as much on R&D and MG&A costs for Celeron! Tenchusatsu
