"You're saying that Intel's COGS component of GM includes R&D & fab construction/equipping costs?."


R&D is not. The cost of the Fab and equipment are.

Net margin is a more accurate reflection of how much money, on average, Intel keeps for each unit sold. It accounts for ALL the actual costs of running Intel's business and doesn't let them hide unattractive things in "other" buckets.

I have pointed out a few times that Intel "net" margins are unspectacular........as such.....such revelations are largely ignored.
I suspect yours will be.... as well.
