Elmer, I think the CapEx decline is larger than the street expected, but this is a good thing for both Intel and AMD. As you point out, going to 12" wafers should increase output per fab, and/or allow larger chips like Itanium.

Maybe the CapEx reduction is tacit admission that AMD will keep between 20 and 25% market share ad infinitum. With CapEx closer to the prior estimates of ~6.5B, Intel may have been trying to obtain enough capacity to single-handedly supply the entire market 3-4 years from now.
