	Well, Intel claimed the cost was $20 per processor, and that
includes the additional cost to actually put the cache chips on the
PCBs (the chips themselves aren't that expensive, especially not when
purchasing several million of them).  Add another $10 per chip for the
cost of the casing and putting the chip in the casing, and the PII 350
and 400MHz chips end up costing about $30 more then a Celeron to
produce.  Last time I checked, the difference in price between the two
chips was a wee bit more then $30, or even $300.
