Almost every corp. tries to run at 80% capacity. More than that leaves you vulnerable to shortages, such as Intel had last yr.; and less can eat into profits. Perhaps I wasn't clear. By maximising profits I mean controlling production so as to maximise sales_volume*selling_price. Having a good product and advertising it well is what defines the demand and the production volumes are adjusted to meet that demand while maintaining a price that maximises profits. I would be interested to hear from an Intel advocate who argues that Intel could not have made more money last quarter by constraining supply so as to increase their ASPs.
