If that's the cost of manufacturing, how can Intel avoid the trend?

Intel has already avoided the trend. That's what we heard on Investor's Day. You might want to watch it again.

And if Intel can avoid the trend, how much more did their special recipe cost in R&D and when is the breakeven?

R&D is expensed as it is incurred. Therefore there are no future costs to be amortized.
