Tenchusatsu,
<Face it, Chuck. You were wrong, big time>
Cleraly you do not understand what I am saying. Otherwise you would not be saying this. Here are clips from Intel press release.
"** Interest and other was $508 million in the fourth quarter, higher than previous guidance of $280 million, due to higher than expected gains on sales of equity investments."
This is HUGE discrepancy.
Also from the press release:
"INTEL CORPORATION
SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION
(In millions)
Q4 '99 Q3 '99 YTD 1999 Q4 '98 YTD 1998
OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION:
Intel Architecture Business Group
Revenues 6,955 6,331 25,274 6,965 23,853
Operating Profit 3,318 2,789 11,356 3,318 9,413 "
This indicates flat to slightly negative growth in the core Microprocessor business. Do you understand what this means?
Finally, one thing that slid by was that apparently this quarter had 14 weeks compared to the typical 13 weeks in a quarter. That means possibly one full week of extra revenues compared to normal.
<On the other hand, that doesn't mean you have to suffer. >
No, I won't! I already know that Intel's halo keeps the stock price up even in face of the data like the stuff I presented above.
<I'm sure AMD will do just as well as INTC, if not better, next week.>
As I have been saying on this thread AMD will do a lot better than Intel this Q.
