You take percentage because it suits your purpose more but in term of brute numbers AMD 2006 to 2007 its +184 Millions$ and Nvidia 2006 to 2007 its +138 Millions$.

What the cost going to 55nm? You don't know. Going to 40nm? You don't know? GDDR4 research? 2900XT launch six months late in 2007 but due in 2006 so no impact. GDDR4 basically the same as GDDR4 so not a great deal.

For the AMD part you play guessing game. But AMD, graphic division was the first thing who manage too have success of RV670 and RV770. So It may indicate something.
It doesn't take much assuming to see that CPU cost more to develop than GPU and NV spent a whole lot of money in 2008 for a GPU company.

Similarly you don't know how much they spent on cuda or ion for research and development and yet you put it in your argument.
