TGPTNDR, I didn't enter the Intel contest, since I have not been following Intel financials in detail, but I think the contest may be ruined by a "one time charge" related to the announcement to the employees. When it comes to cutting fat, Intel has a lot of it, and will be better off cutting some of it. I think AMD is down to muscle and bone, and any cuts from here, if they occur, would have negative influence on long term prospects. Here is another comment on tomorrow's announcement: Intel may announce layoffs alongside earnings-WSJ NEW YORK, July 16 (Reuters) - Intel Corp. (NasdaqNM:INTC - News), the world's No. 1 chipmaker, may be on the verge of announcing massive layoffs or other cuts amid a slow market for personal computers, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday. Intel's chief executive officer, Craig Barrett is scheduled to speak to employees after stock markets close, and about the same time as the chipmaker discusses its second-quarter results in a conference call with analysts, the paper said. Intel declined to comment on what Barrett will discuss, nor on the possibility of any work-force reduction, though word of the speech spread on Monday after a published research note from Jonathan Joseph, an analyst at Salomon Smith Barney. Joseph and other analysts said they had no direct knowledge of Intel's plans, but said they would not be surprised by a substantial belt-tightening move, according to the Journal. Joseph noted the last time Barrett addressed the company, shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks, the CEO observed that Intel's headcount was about 20,000 higher than it was three years ago -- when revenues were about the same level as last fall. The implication, Joseph said, was the company's work force would have to shrink if revenues didn't rise. At the end of the first quarter, Intel had about 83,000 employees, down from 86,000 at the end of 2000. biz.yahoo.com Joe

TGPTNDR: "It all depends on how they cook the fudge." Seems this go round that there are more connoiseurs of fudge amongst the analysts...These connoiseurs, with their acute palates won't take kindly to too much sugar in INTC's "fudge recipe"...Either way, INTC will escape new lows only if INTC's numbers demonstrate stability in q2...
