Further clarification and info that makes a stronger case than the hotmail post.

Conference Call Stuff: Go near bottom of link to see the extract provided and more:

So no chipmaker yet has Deep-UV lasers in volume production?

No. Samsung has a few systems in volume production as we speak. And they are unique in that regard.

Intel?

Excimer-powered Deep-UV? No. Intel of course has the Microscan Deep-UV bulb-based system for quarter micron fabrication. They do not have laser-based systems. I think it has been reported publicly that Nikon has delivered at least one system to Intel for evaluation purposes. Other companies are hoping to do so, but they have no machines that are excimer powered as we speak, in production today.

Info on savings associated with 300mm vs 200mm production. INTC and Japanese firms

Intel says it will set up 300mm pilot fab. The article says:
"Intel's other supplier, Nikon Precision Inc., has a development 300-mm step-and-repeat tool and a 200-mm step-and-scan system. And it's Canon's 300-mm step-and-repeat development system that Intel will use in its Santa Clara test line."
