RE:"
This article is riddled with inaccuracies:
<1>The company, which had $29 billion in sales for 1999 - Even
though the author posted the number as fact, 1999 isn't over, thus
full-year revenues are unknown.
<2>Currently, the world's fastest PC processor, the 750-MHz Athlon, is
not manufactured in San Jose, but instead in Sunnyvale, Calif. - We'll
never be able to agree who has the faster processor, but the author also
mistakenly implies Intel is in San Jose. HQ is in Santa Clara, and there is
no manufacturing in San Jose that I know of.
<3>The chipset [820] is yet to be introduced - Flat out wrong. The Intel
820 chipset was introduced on 15-November.
<4>Intel, on the other hand, still produces its chips using a
0.25-micron process. - Wrong again, 0.18-micron parts launched on
25-October.
This author is horrible. Is this average for Forbes?"...

I have to admit, the Author (is that a guy or a gal?), is really not up to speed with the technical/geographic details. Someone should draw this to the attention of Forbes.
