anyone else notice this...

"Each McKinley could cost $300 to produce, compared with $50 for some members of the Pentium family. Only about 47 McKinleys will be able to be carved from a standard wafer. Intel now carves about 180 of the latest Pentium 4s from a single wafer."

$300 * 47(mckinley chips) = $14,100
$14,100/180(p4 chips) = $73.333

i dunno if that's accurate but if it is, that means it only costs ~$73.333 to make a p4.
