Commodity Exposures
Price Sensitivity
Intel's semiconductor fabs consume enormous quantities of energy, water, and specialty materials. The company's push to advanced process nodes (Intel 18A, Intel 20A) requires increasingly pure materials and more energy-intensive manufacturing. Intel's new fab construction in Ohio and Germany creates significant steel, copper, and concrete demand. Each fab costs $20-30 billion and takes years to build.
