Looks that way to me too. 30-40% bigger than their other Mega Fabs and almost 2X the size of AMD's Fab30... Incredible!

Just to give some perspective. The latest Fab that intel is building, Fab22 has 133,000 sq ft of cleanroom:

I've stood inside this F22 cleanroom, and trust me.... It's GIGANTIC. I'm thinking of putting in a P.O. for some rollerblades to get around (cleanroom rollerblades, of course).
