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
