Die Cost Estimates -

FWIW here are some die cost estimates from the MPF. Don't take them too seriously as some are way off. Example, at $2000 a wafer, Intel would only get 20 GDPW according to this model and that would be disastrous yield.

The most interesting aspect of Mr. Krewel's afternoon seminar was his disclosure of die costs for AMD and Intel. MDR has created a proprietary cost model for accurately estimating die costs. Die costs are:

Pentium 4, Willamette (.18 micron): $101
Pentium III (.25 micron): $75
Athlon (.18 micron, with module): $69
Athlon (.18 micron, Copper, no module): $62
Celeron (.25 micron):$55
Duron (.18 micron): $52
K6III (.25 micron): $45
Pentium III (.18 micron): $36
PIIIM (.13 micron): $33
VIA C3 (.15 micron): $24
Opteron (.13 micron): $87
Pentium 4 Northwood (.13 micron): $42
Pentium 5? Prescott (.09 micron): $37
