But is it per mile, per 100 miles, per day?<<

Joe - Re: "$1.6 billion number is meaningless"

You couldn't be more wrong !

That $1.6 BILLION per quarter allows Intel to develop new wafer fab processes and new wafer fabs and new CPU designs and bring them on stream - ON SCHEDULE.

The lack of that profit money is why NSM is BEHIND SCHEDULE and BEHIND IN DESIGN and BEHIND IN TECHNOLOGY.

And getting "BEHINDER" !
