Introduction On behalf of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD), Haley & Aldrich, Inc. (Haley & Aldrich) has prepared this Fifth Five‐Year Review (5YR) Report for the former AMD facility located at 915 DeGuigne Drive, in Sunnyvale, California (the Site; Figure 1). This 5YR Report, covering the reporting period of 2014 through 2018, is submitted in response to Task 7 of Site Cleanup Requirements Order No. 91‐101 (the Order) issued by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco Bay Region (Water Board). The four previous 5YR Reports for the Site were submitted to the Water Board on behalf of AMD in June 1996, June 2001, December 2008, and January 2014. The Water Board, on behalf of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 9, submitted its previous 5YR for the Site in September 2014 (EPA 5YR; EPA, 2014) based on AMD’s Fourth Five‐Year Review Report, submitted in 2014 (Haley & Aldrich, 2014a). 1.1 REGULATORY ORDERS The Site was added to the National Priorities List in September 1990, and a Record of Decision (ROD) was issued by the EPA in August 1991 (EPA, 1991). The Site is currently regulated under the Order issued in June 1991 by the Water Board (Water Board, 1991). The Water Board is the lead regulatory oversight agency for the Site pursuant to the South Bay Multi‐Site Cooperative Agreement and the South Bay Groundwater Contamination Enforcement Agreement, established on 2 May 1985 by the Water Board, the Department of Health Services, and the EPA. The Order documents the cleanup goals for Site groundwater and designates groundwater extraction and treatment as the final remedy for the Site. During this 5YR period, treated groundwater was discharged to an on‐Site storm drain under Water Board Order No. R2‐2012‐0012 and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit No. CAG912002. A new Water Board Order No. R2‐2017‐ 0048 replaced Order No. R2‐2012‐0012 and became effective on 1 January 2019. 1.2 PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT The purpose of the 5YR is to determine whether the remedy at the Site is, and will continue to be, protective of human health and the environment (EPA, 2014). This Fifth 5YR Report assesses the effectiveness and efficiency of the ongoing remediation program over the past 5 years, and addresses issues raised in the previous EPA 5YR. This report is organized into five sections, as described below: Section 1 – Introduction; Section 2 – Site Background: this section includes a Site description and history and summarizes the Site’s hydrogeology and current environmental conditions, distribution of chemicals of concern (COCs) in groundwater, and current remedial alternative; Section 3 – Progress Since Last Review: this section describes the groundwater monitoring program, groundwater extraction and treatment system (GETS), vapor intrusion evaluation, and work performed by others; 1 ~~ICH Section 4 – Remedial System Performance and Effectiveness: this section summarizes remedial objectives, evaluates the conditions of Site soil and groundwater, and summarizes a vapor intrusion evaluation, institutional controls, and Site cleanup costs; Section 5 – Conclusions and Recommendation: this section summarizes the findings from the 5YR and provides recommendations for remedial activities for the next 5‐year period. 1.3 ISSUES RAISED IN THE 2014 EPA 5‐YEAR REVIEW The three issues and recommended follow‐up actions were presented in the 2014 EPA 5YR: Issue #1: The groundwater extraction and treatment system may not be able to restore the groundwater to its beneficial use as a potential source of drinking water due to VOCs from upgradient (off‐site) sites migrating onto the AMD 915 Site. Recommendation and Follow‐up Action: Establish a broader strategy for groundwater restoration for the AMD 915 upgradient sites. Issue #2: California Civil Code section 1471 has changed since the restrictive covenant was recorded. Recommendation and Follow‐up Action: A new restrictive covenant that complies with California Civil Code section 1471 should be recorded. Issue #3: A State MCL [Maximum Contaminant Level] for hexavalent chromium has recently been established and the MCLs for chloroform, ethylbenzene and 1,2,4‐trichlorobenzene has changed. Recommendation and Follow‐up Action: An Explanation of Significant Differences should be issued to set new cleanup goals for the chemicals considering the new MCLs.

The presentation laid a path through which Intel hopes to MARKET DATA Current Price (Jul-26-21) $54.31 have achieved parity with TSMC (and by extension, AMD) by 2024, and a goal of process leadership Market Cap (mln) $221,802 by 2025. This is no different from the goals laid out by Intel’s new CEO when he came on board Current Net Debt (mln) $10,552 a quarter ago, but the company did provide more details about how they intend to achieve that Enterprise Value (mln) $232,354 Shares Outstanding (mln) 4,084.0 goal. Attaining leadership by 2025 requires Intel to introduce a full process node improvement 30-Day Avg. Daily Value (mln) $1,362.7 each year for the next 4 years – an aggressive assumption given the production missteps from Dividend $1.39 the past several years. What Intel didn’t disclose were the costs of this roadmap, which we Dividend Yield 2.6% 52-Week Range $43.61 - $68.49 expect them to discuss during the November analyst day. And while there is great uncertainty BVPS $14.76 about Intel’s ability to achieve these targets, what’s less uncertain is a requirement for higher Long-Term Debt (mln) $24,632 capital intensity.

  • Stock Price Predictions
    Stock Price Predictions An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science by Chang Liu Date: July 19, 2019 Report Submitted to: Professor Mayer Humi, PhD Worcester Polytechnic Institute This report represents work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, see http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Projects. Abstract The objective of this project was to predict stock prices over a short period of time, possibly several weeks. First, we chose 10 stocks of interest in the same sector. To make informed predictions, we built several models for the historical prices of the stocks and used those models to predict future prices. Then, we analyzed the results of those models to improve the predictions. In addition, a portfolio of the 10 stocks was created to measure their performance. 1 Table of Contents Abstract ........................................................................................................................................... 1 Executive Summary ....................................................................................................................... 3 Introduction .................................................................................................................................... 5 Background
