Greg & Intel Investors - A Brief Interview with Andy Grove The following is from the San Francisco Chronicle. Grove seems matter-of-fact about re-taking the market share in sub $1000 PCs to AMD. Judging by all the Celeron PCs I see advertised, Intel is well on its way to do just this. Paul {===============================} sfgate.com Intel aside By Matt Beer EXAMINER TECHNOLOGY WRITER Sunday, October 25, 1998 Andy Grove, Intel's chairman, wanted to confine an interview to his experiences as a refugee and the International Rescue Committee, but he did comment on some Intel issues. Q:.The cheaper, sub-$1,000 computer systems -- with competing chips -- have been cutting into Intel's market share. Is Intel going to concede this market? A:.No, it's going to be a major priority for us. With the evolution of adequate features, the market has really taken off. To say it caught us by surprise, that would maybe be too strong a statement, but the magnitude of that trend we misjudged. We are seriously interested in capturing whatever territory we've lost. And we've lost some. And we will recapture it. Q:.Apple has been making a lot of your statement praising their new iMac. At the same time they've been airing commercials critical of Intel's chips ..... A:.The iMac is a daring industrial design and is a break with legacy (older) computer features. I don't think the computer industry has been as aggressive in industrial design as it should be. I've applauded Apple and their slogan, "think different." You have to recognize good ideas when you see them. Q:.You passed on your CEO postion in May to Craig Barrett. What were your goals when you moved into the chairman role full time -- and are you accomplishing them? A:.I wanted more flexibility in my schedule, to be able to get involved with issues I was intrigued with, more deeply than I would have been able to. I am making progress; maybe achieved half of what I hoped for. -- Matt Beer Get a printer-friendly version of this article Get Quote: symbol name ON THE GATE Feedback ©1998 San Francisco Examiner

Greg and All Intel Investors, Re: "Article on PC sales ..." Here is one that I found as well ... Looks like the PC market is starting to come back --> cbs.marketwatch.com Yousef ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PC shipments grew 13.7 percent in third quarter Last Update: 8:27 PM ET Oct 25, 1998 SAN JOSE, Calif (AP) - Despite a struggling global economy, more than 22.6 million personal computers were shipped worldwide in the third quarter of 1998 - a jump of 13.7 percent over the same period last year. "Though some regions of the world continue to confirm the dampening effects of the financial turmoil in Asia and the Pacific, worldwide personal computer unit growth remains healthy," said Bill Schaub, vice president of Dataquest Inc. in San Jose. In the United States, 9.5 million computers were shipped, up 18.2 percent from the year-ago period, said Dataquest. Western Europe reported strong growth based on a growing low-cost PC market and a strong economy, said International Data Corp., based in Framingham, Mass. Economic woes in Russia and the southeastern Asia markets countered the strong western European growth, though a positive growth rate in the Japanese market showed signs of a revival in consumer demand, said IDC. Market data from IDC shows that although Compaq (CPQ) remains the number one vendor in the world, its growth in the United States slipped 8 percent to just 15.8 percent of the market. Meanwhile, Dell (DELL) is growing rapidly, up 65 percent to take 14.1 percent of the U.S. market. IBM (IBM) clinched the No. 3 position for the United States with 34 percent growth, and Hewlett-Packard (HWP) and Gateway (GTW) rounded out the top five. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
