Were INTC to eliminate goodwill from its balance sheet, S/E would be reduced by close to $5 billion from $35.8 billion to $31 billion...An S/E decline of this magnitude would have significant implications for INTC price given that many analysts watch S/E very closely...

Well, it would reduce their book value from $5 and something to $4 and something, not much. That would actually improve their ROE, the most key measure of financial performance. I think most analysts consider Other Assets probably to be worth zero, since they're often just goodwill or loans to officers.
