TimeTraveler, My recollection is that Intel has at least six fabs dedicated solely to microprocessor production. (If not, let Dr. Engel set it straight.) 20,000 wafers per week would be a pretty conservative estimate of capacity for microprocessors, even if they need a few thousand per week for SRAM's used inside the Deschutes.
