wmbz where do you get $6. I hope your not actually believing that Intel makes Prescotts for $6 while Northwoods cost $12 to make. Those numbers are so far from reality anyone who has ever seen the cost of wafers knows those numbers are false. The reality is it is more than likely that Prescott costs more to make because it is a new process and a die shrink, and die shrinks reduce yields. Plus the Prescott die is only 15% smaller than Northwood, so combined with poorer yields which are typical on a die shrink and/or a new design, there is little doubt that currently Prescotts are more expensive to make than Northwoods. Let's also not forget how hot these Prescotts are which is going to be a major problem going forward.
