Intel Declines Comment As Rumors Swirl About Q1

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Intel Corp. (Nasdaq:INTC - news) declined to comment on market rumors
that the microchip group would soon pre-announce a first quarter earnings shortfall, fueling a drop in its
stock Tuesday.

''I can't comment on market rumors,'' said Tom Waldrop, a spokesman for Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel.

Intel shares dropped $4.31 to $115.31 in very heaving trading, especially in the last hour before the market
closed.

Traders and fund managers said they had been hearing the rumor in the last hour or so of trading and they
were not surprised by it, given the current PC industry environment.

''Just based on what we know about the PC business, it wouldn't be too surprising if things were a little bit
light,'' said one fund manager who asked not to be named.

Earlier this month, the world's biggest PC maker, Compaq Computer Corp. (NYSE:CPQ - news) warned
of weaker-than-expected demand for personal computers.

Last month, high-flyer Dell Computer Corp. (Nasdaq:DELL - news) reported slower-than-expected fourth
quarter revenue growth.

Analysts also said that news of a significant loss in the first quarter from Intel rival Advanced Micro
Devices Inc. (NYSE:AMD - news) late Monday was also putting pressure on chip stocks.
