       | That is ball-park for a cutting edge production fab but likely
       | they will want multiple smaller more R&D focussed fabs which
       | could blow out the cost. The important gear doesn't really scale
       | down to smaller output right now - assuming they want to be doing
       | EUV and associated tooling.

       | I imagine this needs to be coupled with some industry investment
       | to come up with the full amount of funds because $11B isn't going
       | to cut it.
