Marion, sounds like Intel will be playing hardball again in the area of cost cutting. The only thing is that the article title "...massive cost cutting" sounds a bit sensational on the part CNET. Oh well, what else is new. No mention of job cuts in the article as part of the cost cutting. That's good. I don't like RIFs, and the street can react either way to them, i.e., as a sign of weakness, or that they'll be saving money and to the bottom line. Never know. Quick article from the Mercury News, upcoming improving GM's mentioned at the bottom: Last updated: Friday, Nov. 13, 1998, 8:30 p.m. Reports compiled from Mercury News staff writers and wire services. Intel to boost speed, performance of Celeron Intel Corp. plans to introduce faster versions of its low-cost Celeron processors in the first half of 1999, as the world's top computer-chip maker aims to improve performance of inexpensive personal computers, the company told analysts Friday. Intel also will integrate other chips to help enhance graphics, audio, video and memory into the Celeron, which will run at speeds higher than 400 megahertz. A Celeron for mobile computers will be introduced in the first quarter of 1999. Intel also further outlined its plans for cost-cutting to keep its expenses down. Analysts said cost reductions and savings on materials will help widen Intel's gross margin to as high as 55 percent, compared with 53 percent in the third quarter.
