Ever since Intel compared the criticality of its (still) forthcoming Silverthorne (which now goes by Atom, whether you couldn’t guess) processor to the original Pentium last June, we’ve all wondered just how fantasmical our worlds would become when that thing finally dropped. Now, however, Tom’s Hardware has discovered that the release may actually do more for Intel than we geeks. After consulting a source it believes to be quite credible, it found that the CPU — which will likely sell for upwards of $30 at the low-end — will cost Intel just “$6 to $8, including production, packaging and shipping.” Without busting out the abacus, it’s still fairly easy to see how profitable said chips could be whether Intel can move these at even a snail’s pace, but of course, we’d take the dollars and cents estimates with a grain of salt

until they actually hit the market.
