I was only answering your question. It was shortsighted to close down those production lines. The obvious answer is to rebuild the capacity to make those chips, which will of course be expensive and may not even pay for itself.

Yes, I'm not contradicting you, it's just weird to close production lines that have orders. But maybe the more expensive fabs try to force production to newer processes, because that makes them more money?
