Greg - Re: "IMHO, Intel will be viewed as brilliant for bringing this capacity on line in quarters to come. Good grief, FABs aren't built in a quarter!"

Precisley.

Intel made this error in 1997 - 1999 - and paid dearly.

There is NO GOOD TIME to build wafer fabs - you either build them when they are NOT needed - or you build them when you DO NEED them but they they take too long to build to be of any help.

By pushing through their fab expansion NOW - when demand may be wavering - Intel will then have the fab capacity to increase Semiconductor manufacturing when business does pick up.
