It's relatively safe to assume that a $200 CPU contains less than $200 worth of embodied energy. And while the energy used to manufacture the CPU will be cheaper than what a European pays at the outlet, it's not that much cheaper.

$200 is a gross upper limit. It's more likely that a $200 CPU contains $20 of embodied energy. It's highly unlikely that the energy is subsidized by >90%.
