RE:"That makes Intel's investment in BroadCom ALONE worth $1.74 Billion -that's Billion with a B !!

Not bad for some walking-around money !

Might even pay for the next 300 MM Wafer Fab !"

Yes, Intel seems to be better at investing these days than producing fast chips! They have plenty of investments in reserve to make the next quarter!

How did that Chips and Technology deal work out for Intel...?

Hi Paul:

Too bad some of that Intel investment savvy is currently apparent with the PWeeIII 733 and 800 botched gate, I mean notched gate fiasco! (Credit: Bill Jackson!)

They'd be better off finding another investment...No point in buying another fab until they resolve the current PWeeIII horror show...
