New fab in 4 years is manageable. It may have been in plans for some time, they just chose a new location now.

They build it in Arizona where Intel has several fabs and where TSMC is building their medium-sized 25K/month 5nm Megafab.

25k starts a month is not a megafab

It's a megafab. It's not a gigafab.

megafab means medium capacity in TSMC's terminology.
