RE: "I think that whenever we do get another upturn..."

Good News! We are in "another upturn"!<g>

This is a slower, post "bubble", technology, not capacity, driven upturn. It seems tailor made for the fabless model. The boom, bust character of the semi industry was promoted by each semi company adding fabs. Now a few foundry companies are planning to meet the capacity requirements of many fabless companies. The new capacity supports the latest innovations across the whole industry. It is likely that a wider variety of chips actually refines the process technology more.
