There is a rubicon coming up for Intel. At some point the fab side will be separated out into a separate company. Intel is currently leaving money on the table on the fab side under its current structure as nobody is going to trust Intel to make their latest and greatest while the chip design side is under the same roof. The alternative is that the fab side goes down with Intel when the bottom drops out of x86.
