Excerpt from Intels Mar 97 10K A number of competitors have developed and begun marketing products that are software compatible with some of the Company's key products. In particular,companies have announced plans to ship products in 1997 intended to compete with the Pentium and Pentium Pro microprocessor families. ------------>IDT is not licensed to use Intel patents ..Right? Many of Intel's competitors are licensed to use Intel patents. Furthermore, based on the current case law, Intel's competitors can design microprocessors that are compatible with Intel microprocessors and avoid Intel patent rights through the use of foundry services that have licenses with Intel. Competitors' products may add features, increase performance or sell at lower prices. ------------>Is this IDT or is it non-x86 compatable architectures The Company also faces significant competition from companies that offer rival microprocessor architectures. The Company cannot predict whether such rival architectures will establish or increase market acceptance or provide increased competition to the Company's products. Future distortion of price maturity curves could occur as software compatible products enter the market in significant volume or alternative architectures gain market acceptance. ------------> Intel's strategy has been, and continues to be, to introduce ever higher performance microprocessors. To implement this strategy, the Company plans to cultivate new businesses and continue to work with the software industry to develop compelling applications that can take advantage of this higher performance, thus driving demand toward the newer products. Intel also is committed to the protection of its intellectual property rights against illegal use. There can be no assurance, however, that competitors will not introduce new products (either software compatible or of rival architectural designs) or reduce prices on existing products. Such developments could have an adverse effect on Intel's revenues and margins. Charlie
