Intel CFO says financial guidance unchanged

NEW YORK, Feb 9 (Reuters) - Intel Corp. (Nasdaq:INTC - news) Chief Financial Officer Andy Bryant reiterated Tuesday
the previous financial guidance it had given for the current quarter, following the announcement on Monday of substantial price
cuts in the low end of its product line.

Speaking to an audience of more than 500 money managers attending a session of the Goldman Sachs Technology Symposium here, Bryant said the company's
business remains on track and the price cuts of up to 24 percent on its low-end Celeron computer chips had been calculated in the company's original guidance.

''There's nothing new here than what we gave as revenue guidance'' during the company's fourth-quarter conference call with analysts in mid-January, Bryant
said.

Specifically, the Intel executive said first quarter revenues were expected to be down compared with the fourth quarter due to the seasonal strength of holiday
sales. He said gross margins would be slightly down and expenses would fall by 24 percent without the weight of hefty holiday marketing costs.

Bryant said the guidance given last month was based on its plans to aggressively gain market share from rival chip makers at the low end of the personal
computer market.

Intel's price cuts and an earnings warnings by rival chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NYSE:AMD - news) last week have raised fears among investors
of a growing price war that will dampen profits across the industry.

Intel stock, which was trading down roughly five points at midday, recovered somewhat to trade on the Nasdaq stock exchange at 128-1/8, off 3-7/8.

Hi Joe,

considering the level of panic in the nasdaq today I am encouraged by the lower than average volume today. Imho it means that the selling wasn't rampant but rather, that there were no buyers to offer support, so the mkt tanked on low volume. I agree that coms chart looks very bad, but this just means another buying opportunity in the high twenties if the mkt chops around for the next week or 2. Nothing has changed and as long as the mkt does not enter a prolonged bear phase, coms will see 50's w/in 12 months.

*OT*Currently I own no csco but am considering nibbling at 90ish for long term buy and hold.Your thoughts?

regards
Miklosh

Joe -- The latest industry market share reports from the Dell'Oro Group (commonly referred to in the indsutry to measure market share) shows that Cisco has a 40%+ overall share in LAN switching (No. 1 by far), and is in a tight three-man race with COMS and ASND/LU for Dial access. 3Com's LAN switching is also a very significant chunk of their overall business.
