If you look at a recent article posted on this forum, you will see that Intel's most likely future is to decommision several .18u megafabs, and replace them with newer facilities, two of which are 300mm. Fab22 in Arizona is a 200mm .13u fab that will likely replace fab12, since it is located at the same spot. Fab11x is a 300mm .13u fab, and it will also likely replace fab11 in New Mexico. I also believe Fab24 (300mm and 90nm) will replace fabs 10 and 14 in Ireland. I think you're wrong about decommissioning of these fabs. They're still modern and highly productive. The work Intel has put into developing new products in the coms market could pay off some day and Intel will need the capacity. More likely to go is Fab8 in Jerusalem and perhaps 10& 15 if any go at all. EP
