O.K., I'll spell this out.

The dilution was minimal, so let's call it zero. Intel spent roughly $3.5 billion on stock repurchases. Since the float stayed roughly the same, all this money was spent to fund employee stock options. Thus, Intel is hiding a substantial portion of its payroll expenses from the income statement. This roughly doubles Intel's earnings.
