those die cost estimates are going to include packaging and test as well.

I don't think so. Then they'd be called unit cost, but either way the numbers are way out of line. Standard yield models would have Willamette yielding over 70 GDPW. At $2000 per wafer then the die cost would be $28.50. It would take over $70 for packaging and test to arrive at his numbers. That's an order of magnitude out of line.
