Or perhaps they could focus on designing faster, smaller CPU's. Kash, Have you seen Intel's plans for a .00u process? By the year 2005 they should be able to put an infinite amount of transistors inside the pad ring. That will facilitate the manufacturing of the "El Nino" processor, which will have NT in microcode and an infinite onboard L2. Scumbria

Kash-Blow-Hard - Re: "Or perhaps they could focus on designing faster, smaller CPU's." How about the Mendocino 333 MHz? Where's your AMD Sharpy tooth chip? DELAYED by AMD WITH NO STOCK buy back. How about 450 MHz PentiumII ? How about 450 MHz XEON ? How about 190 MHz StrongARM ? How about 100 MHz i960 VH ? How about 166 MHz and 200 MHz 2.8 watt Pentium MMX ? How about some K7 data, Kash-gone-south-big-mouth? Paul

Kash, INTC's price is up 20% this year. The best return Intel could earn on secure short term investments is 2-3% after tax so far. Buying stock, holding it for appreciation, and selling it to retire options exercised or bought in stock plan (rather than buying as needed) is a terrific investment. I would prefer that Intel buy DELL, but that would not have been sound. The effectiveness of stock options in increasing output is another question altogether -- but this is not really optional. A deal's a deal. Intel has to provide the stock at prices promised.
