1000 fabs ... making other things

Wakipedia knows about 449 fabs. 26 are marked as manufacturing flash or NAND (224 do not say what they build). Two are marked as making 3D NAND. Even assuming only 32 layers, either of those two are likely producing more bits per month than the other 24 combined. It would be nice to sum (wafers/month)*(diameter^2)/(scale^2), but Wakipedia does not populate enough fields in the table to make that easy. 6ish more/enbiggened modern 3D NAND fabs will increase capacity by nearer 500% than 10%.
