Those options should be expensed at the time they're granted.

To be precise, the FASB standard is to value the options at the time they're granted and expense that valuation over the vesting period. If the Intel employee with the $75 strike goes to Broadcom 3/5 of the way into the vesting period, then the remaining 40% of the original value of the option won't need to be written off.
