These statements do not reflect the potential impact of any mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, investments or other similar transactions that may be completed in the future, with the exception of the Numonyx transaction. Our forward-looking statements for 2008 reflect the expectation that the Numonyx transaction will close during the first quarter. The information presented is accurate only as of today’s date and will not be updated. In addition to any factors discussed in the presentation, the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include the following: Factors that could cause demand to be different from Intel's expectations include changes in business and economic conditions, including conditions in the credit market that could affect consumer confidence; customer acceptance of Intel’s and competitors’ products; changes in customer order patterns, including order cancellations; and changes in the level of inventory at customers. Intel’s results could be affected by the timing of closing of acquisitions and divestitures. Intel operates in intensely competitive industries that are characterized by a high percentage of costs that are fixed or difficult to reduce in the short term

  • Intel in 1968, Became President and CEO in 1975, Chairman in 1979, Chairman Emeritus in 1997
    [Beginning of recorded material] [Music] [Video] Pat Gelsinger: There is no person on the planet that I would be more pleased to introduce than our next speaker. And as you come to IDF, technology, technologists, great innovation, profound insights, and who better to speak on such topics than Gordon Moore? Gordon co-founded Intel in 1968, became president and CEO in 1975, chairman in 1979, chairman emeritus in 1997. You know, he was the guy who sort of codified what we today call Moore's Law, , this insight that's become not just an insight, but the very nature of our industry's heartbeat and direction. I remember some of my personal interactions with Gordon very early on. And one time we were struggling on the 46th compaction, so this is back when, , we were struggling to make a 1.2 million transistor chip. Myself was leading the design team for that. [Youssef A. El-Mansy] was leading the process technology for it. And we were struggling with this low-yield problem. And were running all sorts of experiments and struggling with trying to figure this out. And Gordon summons me to his office along with Youssef, , on this problem. I felt like I was going and seeing God, right, you know, walk in, the Gordon Moore, right? And Gordon started shelling us with questions. Have you run this experiment? Have you tried that? And so on. And by this point Gordon was not a practicing technologist for quite a number of years, so we felt like we were sort of pacifying the old man, Intel Developers' Forum, 8.18.07, Afternoon Session Page 2 , by answering his questions.
