Yes, if there is a market for their higher end CPU business then that would make sense, but presumably they would be using those fabs for that business if they thought there was a market for those units at this point. I'm saying that Intel may think that the market size for computer processors will continue to grow and this would be space they could fill if necessarily. Realistically though, they would probably just build more fabs.

They are using them for that business. Intel's fabs are at capacity, and they're building a new giant one in Oregon right now.

  Not just D1X in Oregon. Fab 42 is being built in Chandler, Arizona as well.

    They are also building one in China. A fab produces an enormous number of chips, they are building more capacity than is currently required by the market.
