Jim - <AMD shut down last year. I think that was the usual. "This time it's different.">

Not denying that (w.r.t to AMD).

Intel has only shut down one prime fab over a major holiday once in the last several years, that I can recall, and that was facilitated by a period of extreme weakness in the overall x86 market. This year it's all out, which is the norm.
