With a lot of 300 mm production in the pipeline it may just be that the 15% tax rate on dividends together with less capex needed in the next couple of years equals an extraordinry dividend. Will

GV, so why do you think Intel issued more cash as a dividend? More confidence in their business? Or, I noticed the article said "outside" directors. Hope the outside directors understand the needs of fabs. They are Intel's barrier to entry and the reason why I am invested in Intc. Wonder if there was a difference in opinion there. If this isn't related to tax reasons (as you suggest), then what do you think this decision is related to? 300mm? Do you know how much Intel spent on fabs last year and this year? Was it less than 7.5B? Regards, Amy J
