No one here has to do anything. But any logical rational non-AMD fanboy is going want to see some evidence for these assumptions. There is none. Nothing. Zero. There is no evidence whatsover of how much any of these cards cost. Even with your assumption of $5000 per wafer you are left guessing the yields. We don't know them. You don't know them. So it's a pointless exercise. This kind of thing reminds me of the Drake Equation. When you don't know any of the variables you cannot solve for anything.

It only takes remedial mathematics to get a close enough figure to understand the underlying discussion.
Well I have a degree in EE so I think I should be able to manage the math.

These are just rough figures, but it easily demostrates how far off you are in your thinking.
You have demonstrated nothing with those figures. You don't know the yields. You don't know the cost of the wafer. You don't have any numbers at all.

We might be off by a few % or $, but nobody is blatantly abusing these figures.
What figures? I don't see any. All I see are wild arse guesses.
