<font color=red> Intel's Secret Weapon is Unveiled

Awesome Power of AMD-killer pIII-600 is to live on........

Any idea why intel would want to extend the life of pIII-600E? Is that to compete against upcoming palomino?

Regards

There will be higher depreciation costs in Q1 from the increase in capex in 1999/2000. Manufacturing costs will go up due to larger P4 die.

Add high inventories, lower demand and competition from AMD's superior products and even a windbrain can get the picture.

Windsock,

Capital expenses have no effect on earnings. They are made from the cash that Intel has on hand and will continue to earn -- no debt or interest required.

Higher capex may affect earnings. If Intel spends more, that means higher depreciation. If Intel cannot sell more (i.e. revenues stay constant), they Intel's earnings will be reduced.

However, one thing that might offset that is if Intel's Venture Portfolio continues to make gains on their investments....
