kapkan4u - You wrote The bulk of .18u capex was spent in 1999 and 2000. On a 5 year depreciation schedule the capacity is not even close to being fully depreciated

I think Intel only built one wafer fab during that time period - Fab 18 [remember how the analysts berated Intel for not having enough capacity in 2000 ?] .
Any other capital expenditures for their 0.18 micron process would have been rather minimal - in photolithography - since Intel - you will recall - maintained their aluminum metallization process.
This would result in rather minimal (relatively speaking) capital expenditures for 0.18 micron processing in the first place - would it not?
