I was speaking only of the cost to build. There's the cost to run/maintain it (salaries, etc).

Keep in mind Intel is losing almost $2B per quarter on their foundry business. It's not easy to make the economics work out.

If you think the promise is there, then are you willing to invest all your money in a company chasing this? I'm not.

If I'm worth $10M, it doesn't mean I'll invest $200K in something I'm fairly confident will lose money. If they're not investing in building more capacity, it's because they're being appropriately cautious.
