I have been involved in import and export, although not in tech. Normally, if a product is shipped from the US to another country, it is paid for via Letter of Credit or some other form of documentary method that is dollar denominated. If INTC or any other company has a factory in Thailand, and ships to Thai OEMs, chances are it is in local currency, but also with local costs. I would also guess that if that Thai factory shipped to another country, it would be 4 denominated.

Only my opinion.

"accepting local currency and pricing in local currency"

If Intel prices in dollars and accepts payment in local currency then it has to decide, when that local currency depreciates, whether to decrease the price of its goods in dollars or accept lower sales that come from the currency driven price increases.

As you can see, everyone figured this out today on the Street.
