INTEL CORP. (NasdaqNM:INTC - news) up 2-15/16, at 73-1/2. ** Shares of the world's biggest computer chip maker surged on the Nasdaq after Lehman Bros. raised earnings and revenue estimates on the Santa Clara, Calif.-based company. In a research note, analyst Dan Niles raised his earnings estimate for fiscal 2000 to $1.74 per share from $1.70 and for fiscal 2001 to $1.90 from $1.85. He also raised total revenue forecast for fiscal 2000 to $36 billion, from $35.4 billion. ``We believe that Intel is seeing the most front-end loaded third-quarter in many years and is booked out for the quarter,'' Niles said in a note to clients.

Tony, Re: So if executing instructions faster isn't important in a CPU, what is? The design. Too bad one cannot sell a perfect CPU design to DELL for plugging it in a motherboard :-) gary

Tony, As you probably remember, I used to be a big Willy fan. Recent information has considerably dampened my enthusiasm however. if executing instructions faster isn't important in a CPU, what is? Executing instructions is all that a CPU does. Arithmetic computation is only a small part of instruction execution, however. Like freeway travel, performance is determined by the processor bottleneck, not the fastest stretch. Scumbria
