BUSINESS OUTLOOK
The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. Please see the Risk Factors Regarding Forward-Looking Statements in this release for a description of certain important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ, and refer to Intel's annual and quarterly reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a more complete description of the risks. These statements do not include the potential impact of any mergers, acquisitions, divestitures or other business combinations that may be completed after April 18, 2005.
** Revenue in the second quarter is expected to be between $8.6 billion and $9.2 billion.
** Gross margin percentage for the second quarter is expected to be approximately 56 percent, plus or minus a couple of points, as compared to 59.3 percent in the first quarter. The gross margin percentage expectation for 2005 is now 59 percent, plus or minus a few points, as compared to the previous expectation of 58 percent, plus or minus a few points. The gross margin percentage could vary from expectations based on changes in revenue levels, product mix and pricing, manufacturing yields, changes in unit costs, variations in inventory valuation, excess or obsolete inventory, capacity utilization and the existence of excess capacity, impairments of long-lived assets, including manufacturing, assembly/test and intangible assets, and the timing and execution of the manufacturing ramp and associated costs, including start-up costs.
** Expenses (R&D plus MG&A) in the second quarter are expected to be approximately $2.6 billion. Expenses, particularly certain marketing and compensation expenses, could vary from expectations depending on the level of demand for Intel?s products and the level of revenue and profits.
** The R&D spending expectation for 2005 is unchanged at approximately $5.2 billion.

Intel/Page 3
** Capital spending for 2005 is now expected to be between $5.4 billion and $5.8 billion, higher than the previous expectation of between $4.9 billion and $5.3 billion, driven primarily by stronger than anticipated business and increased confidence in the company?s 65nm process technology ramp.
** Gains from equity investments and interest and other in the second quarter are expected to be approximately $70 million.
** The tax rate for the second, third and fourth quarters is currently expected to be approximately 31 percent. This expectation does not reflect the impact of any potential repatriation of cash under the American Jobs Creation Act. The tax rate expectation is based on current tax law and current expected income and assumes Intel continues to receive tax benefits for export sales. The tax rate may be affected by the closing of acquisitions or divestitures, the jurisdiction in which profits are determined to be earned and taxed, changes in the estimates of credits, benefits and deductions, the resolution of issues arising from tax audits with various tax authorities and the ability to realize deferred tax assets.
** Depreciation for the second quarter is expected to be $1.1 billion, plus or minus $100 million. The depreciation expectation for the full year is unchanged at $4.4 billion, plus or minus $100 million.
** Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and costs is expected to be approximately $35 million in the second quarter and approximately $125 million for the full year.

The company introduced Intel StrataFlash® Embedded Memory, bringing the high performance, high density and cost-effectiveness of Intel?s multi-level cell flash technology to embedded applications. Available in densities ranging from 64Mb to 512Mb today, with 1Gb becoming available in the second quarter, the new devices are Intel?s lowest cost-per-bit flash solutions for market segments including consumer electronics, industrial automation and wire-line communications. Intel also began shipping its first 90nm flash products and shipped samples of its first 90nm flash memory with multi-level cell technology, code-named Sibley. The company also introduced new software for handsets based on Intel flash memory that helps accelerate the storing of large files such as digital photos, music and video.
Intel had record shipments of application processors for cellular phones, with unit sales nearly doubling from the first quarter of last year as designs from customers including Motorola*, Palm* and Samsung* ramped in volume.
Intel also introduced its first WiMAX component, designed for use in modems that connect homes and businesses to emerging WiMAX-based wireless broadband networks. Formerly code-named Rosedale, the Intel® PRO/Wireless 5116 broadband interface is being designed into products from 11 of the industry?s leading equipment providers. In conjunction with the product announcement, 14 telecommunications service providers from around the world announced plans to work with Intel in bringing WiMAX networks to the marketplace.

During the quarter, Intel and Alcatel* announced plans to conduct WiMAX field trials involving fixed, nomadic and mobile deployments. In addition, Intel and ZTE*, China?s largest telecommunications equipment provider, announced plans to develop WiMAX solutions based on Intel silicon. The companies will promote WiMAX specifications and work with regulators in key global markets to secure spectrum for WiMAX networks.
Digital Home Group
Intel completed the acquisition of Oplus Technologies*, a leading provider of video processing products and technologies for digital televisions and displays. The acquisition, which closed in the beginning of the second quarter, provides Intel with technologies that can complement its growing portfolio of consumer electronics (CE) ingredients and platforms.
The company also introduced the Intel® 854 Chipset and development platform for CE devices such as Internet protocol-based digital set-top boxes and digital media recorders. The Intel 854 chipset includes Intel Extreme Graphics 2 technology for rich graphical user interfaces and supports Intel?s Celeron® M, Pentium M and Pentium 4 processors. Toshiba announced plans to introduce a high-definition DVD player based on the Intel 854 chipset later this year.
Technology and Manufacturing Group
During the quarter, Intel demonstrated working samples of its first 65nm microprocessor designs for notebook and desktop platforms. The company remains on schedule to ship 65nm microprocessors during the year with volume ramping in four 300mm factories in 2006. The company also announced plans to build a second assembly and test factory in Chengdu, China.
Intel scientists announced a breakthrough in which standard manufacturing processes were used to create the world's first continuous-wave silicon laser. The technology could lead to low-cost, high-quality lasers and optical devices for use in computing, communications and medical applications. In addition, researchers from Intel and QinetiQ* announced they have successfully built ?quantum well? transistors that provide fast switching performance at low power levels. The technology could become a promising candidate for making microprocessors in the middle of the next decade.
