Fab Capacity by Node Class

65 fabs mapped worldwide with capacity (kWSPM) by node class and availability status, 2024–2028 baseline plus event-driven updates.

Coverage window
2024-01-012028-01-01 (446 rows; includes forward projections)
Computed from the backing series at page-render time — never typed by hand.
History honesty
Subject depth reaches 2024-01-01 via archive backfill (446 rows); continuous capture since (0 live rows).
Cadence
Event-driven — fab capacity readings land as public sources date them (foundry IR, WFE vendor earnings, government filings), reviewed before publication; the seed baseline is annual (2024–2028).
Revision policy
Underlying observations are immutable; the tool view recomputes from them. Corrections are registered in data_corrections.

Known gaps
Capacity figures are a one-time analyst-sourced load from July 2026, spanning 2024–2028 and including forward projections — there is no continuous automated collection of capacity numbers. The correction mechanism is the fab-events log, which tracks the same fabs continuously (groundbreakings, ramps, and especially delays) and records where projections and reality diverge. Re-snapshots are planned as public capacity data allows, appended bitemporally — prior rows are never edited.
