Did Intel make any comments on how much of capex was already spend in Q1; Not to my knowledge.

Universities Guard Magazine With Bounty Thursday April 21, 1:52 pm ET Universities Guard 1965 Magazine With Article by Future Intel Co-Founder With $10,000 Bounty DURHAM, N.C. (AP) -- A 40-year-old technology magazine that contained a groundbreaking article by one of Intel Corp.'s future co-founders is suddenly a hot commodity that needs to be protected by university librarians. Intel last week offered $10,000 for a mint-condition copy of the April 19, 1965, issue of Electronics magazine. In that issue, Gordon Moore declared the integrated circuit was the future of electronics and predicted the rate of improvement for the semiconductor industry. The 40th anniversary of what was later called "Moore's Law" was Tuesday. Neither Moore nor anyone else now at Intel saved an original copy of the magazine, so the chip-maker offered to pay for one. A short time later, a bound volume of Electronics containing the issue disappeared from the University of Illinois' engineering library. Librarians at Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill located copies of the issue hidden deep in their publicly accessible stacks of periodicals and secured them. "If someone wants it, we will gladly stand there while they use this journal," said Linda Martinez, librarian at Duke's Vesic Library, which houses that university's math, physics and engineering collections. "We just want to remove the temptation." Duke library circulation manager Marcos Antonio Rodriguez had the issue, now bound together with the May and June editions, moved from an off-campus auxiliary facility to the main office. There, Duke library officials keep an eye on it. "We've not had anybody make inquiries about it yet," UNC-CH circulation librarian Mitchell Whichard said. "We're going to hold it until we see how it plays out." Would-be thieves looking for the magazine in university libraries probably couldn't collect anyway. Intel has stipulated that library copies may only be sold by the library itself. Also, most libraries bind their old magazines as Duke and UNC-CH have, so the prized issue is now a part of a larger book. "It's very rare if libraries have just loose issues," Duke's Martinez said. "If someone were to get this, they'd have to get a razor or Exacto knife to get at it." In the article, Moore predicted the number of transistors and other components crammed on an integrated circuit would double every year, enabling an era of cheap microelectronics. Moore subsequently updated the rate of doubling to every two years. Moore, now 76, said he had no idea then that his article would remain a hot topic four decades after publication. "Electronics was one of the trade magazines that you read and throw away," he said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. "It wasn't an archival journal." Intel said it is in discussions with people who claim to have copies.
