Intel Corporation today announced it has entered into a series of agreements with ASML Holding N.V. intended to accelerate the development of 450-millimeter (mm) wafer technology and extreme ultra-violet (EUV) lithography totaling €3.3 billion (approximately $4.1 billion). The objective is to shorten the schedule for deploying the lithography equipment supporting these technologies by as much as two years, resulting in significant cost savings and other productivity improvements for semiconductor manufacturers. To achieve this, Intel is participating in a multi-party development program that includes a cash contribution by Intel to fund relevant ASML research and development (R&D) efforts as well as equity investments in ASML.
 
intel never really tried to hide it, but their true manufacturing prowess come with all the money they spend on asml research. not a lot of people are aware of this
 
The payback time on a fab house is ~18 months. That means the 2 billion they spent is paid back in 1.5 years. After that...GRAVY. The bigger the wafer the more money they make FASTER! Put it this way..Intel PRINTS money as it is on their fabs...and they want to print faster.
