Intel Capital 'Ahead $2B'

This is not as good as it sounds. Intel made 3.7B in investment income in 2000. If memory serves right, they also made 800-900 million in 1999 from investment gains. If Intel is now ahead 2B, that means they have lost a lot of money since then.

Another way to think abut this is to remember where the money was made. Intel made something close to 2B in Micron alone. If now they are ahead by 2B or 3-4B, the gains from all these 300 investments in startups is not as great as it might sound.
