Intel Corp (INTC)

[Andy Grave]

The prices that David had posted seemed consistent with what I'd expect from a 50-60% gross margin product. If BOM were equivalent and there were no contra-revenue, I think Intel would be making good money on these.

In other words, they likely cost less to manufacture than a Snapdragon 800.


.....well for Baytrail at say 55% margin, cost would be $12 to produce.....$15/$27 = 55% margin.......so for the $15 payola scenario, contra revenue is ZERO.....for the $5 payola scenario, Intel makes a $10 PROFIT. So where's your scenario where there's enough payola to produce significant "contra revenue" at years end. You'll need to try harder. How about binomial_queue or anyone else give it a stab.
