Cirrus - <I tried searching Intel's site, but the only page I can find that list any info on all the fabs is one about ISO registration.> That's why I'm not going to answer the question. It must be something Intel, for whatever the reasons are, doesn't comment on. I'm not trying to be evasive. As I posted to Goutama, analysts make fair assessments of this type of thinng quite frequntly. Keep your ears open. PB

Cirrus, <I am just randomly curious to what the large Intel microprocessor fabs are theoretically capable of. I think I have read somewhere one is capable of 10,000, but I don't remember much else. I doubt this info isn't public because I remember reading about it somewhere...> Here is my take - not exact but should be in the ball park: - Intel has ~50k wafers per week capacity (CPUs, SRAMs, chipsets?) - The big fabs are Fab11(New Mexico)and Fab 12 (Arizona) each at about 8k wafers per week. There are several others at the ~5k wafers per week range (Fab15- Oregon, Fab 14 - Irelnd, Fab 17 - Massacusetts). This information is somewhat dated but hope it helps.
