fortune.com.

"Why in the world are Craig Barrett and Andy Grove smiling? ...this duo plans to wreak havoc on the chipmaker's rivals."

...the stage [is set] for another story as well, the tale of Intel's imminent comeback attempt. As battered as its share price is, and as humbling as the last 18 months have been, Intel--the other beast of Wintel PCdom--is finally rebooting itself to come roaring back. ...Intel has reclaimed the performance crown, outclocking AMD's fastest Athlon microprocessor by more than 40%.

Fortune got the story right.

I'm glad Grove got right in there and set the facts straight on the other article that had its facts incorrect!

Hey, if you think 52% error was bad, try this: how about an error on the magnitude of a factor of 10? This afternoon, an interview candidate showed me an article from a high-tech magazine that stated current annual revenue in our industry. The actual digits used were correct, but the decimal was wrong by one placeholder. What is it with this?
