I don't think Intel has a trillion dollars. As everyone is aware of, once the size of chips go from .25 micron (or whatever) to the size of atoms, the cost to build factories is supposed to go higher than the GDP of the world. Of course, there is a chance that somehow someone will figure out a loop around this. Sad to say this is the only prayer the computer chip industry has. Don't worry, it won't happen for at least 10 years (likely).
