Intel expects growth in communications,
networking

TOKYO--Intel CEO Craig Barrett said today that he expects revenues from Intel's
networking and communications business to grow more than 30 to 40 percent a
year in the next few years.

Asked at a news conference here about prospects for its Internet-related sales in five
years, Barrett said: "Today our networking and communications business is already an
approximately $2 billion a year business. I expect that to continue to grow faster than the
industry... [now] growing 30 to 40 percent a year."

Revenues from the company's Internet-related services will grow into a billion-dollar
business in a few years, Barrett said.

Intel, the world' biggest semiconductor maker, is rapidly diversifying into Internet-related
business because the Internet will be the driving force in the information technology
industry over the next decade, just as personal computers were in the 1990s, Barrett said.

"Our growth in the future will be a combination of our older core [microprocessor] business
plus these new Internet building blocks," he said.
