don't you think that capital exp of ~7.5 sounds a bit fishy in context

-- Expenses (R&D, excluding in-process R&D, plus MG&A) in the first
quarter of 2001 are expected to be down approximately 15 percent
from fourth quarter expenses of $2.4 billion. Expenses are
dependent in part on the level of revenue and profits.

-- R&D spending, excluding in-process R&D, is expected to be
approximately $4.2 billion in 2001, lower than the previous
expectation of $4.3 billion.


-- Capital spending for 2001 is expected to be approximately $7.5
billion.

John,

Boy, AMD must be gaining a lot of market share for Intel revs to be down 25%, seeing that that is more business than AMD does. If you think AMD is going great, and it's just an Intel problem, I think you need to think.

Its a very bad sign...business must be slowing considerably all over the world for Intel to reduce expectations again....and there's more than a month to go before earnings...room for another warning.

re: "ps read the corp release about capex"

I did, thats why I was puzzled by your comment on capex.


Their capex budget is really going to hurt...Intel is in the unfortunate position of having to maintain a big capex budget while revenues are in decline. I think its here that AMD is hurting Intel, not in market share.
