Craig Barrett Quotations

We are looking to be the preeminent building-block supplier to the World Wide Web economy,

Ultimately, the competitiveness of your kids ought to prompt people into action.

We want to grow our market share (in the mobile phone market) to double-digit levels.

We have recovered from those missteps and the machine is firing on all eight cylinders in terms of new product introductions,

The external forecast for year 2000 or for another year is in the 15 to 18 percent growth in units across the world. And that's fairly close to the historical growth rate. So, where as I hear many comments about the post-PC era, I see anything but that when I look at the numbers.

We have a shared vision and that shared vision will allow us to seek new growth opportunities together.

Cellular technology is emerging as a new high-speed method of connecting to the Internet and we believe over time will become increasingly important for connecting PCs to the Internet.

I have never been more optimistic on the future than I am right now, even in the middle of a recession,

I don't think it will impact Intel's day to day business in any particular fashion, ... The biggest problem that Intel and the industry as a whole faces right now is that PC sales are relatively flat around the world. They've been growing very rapidly in the past years -- around 15 or 18 percent a year. But this year it's growing very slowly. I think that's the biggest problem Intel faces.

We are fully cooperating with the investigation. We don't think we've done anything wrong. We are quite confident that our business practices are quite legal.

What you'll see is a much richer involvement of data (and) information coming to you on the Internet. This chip was designed to improve multimedia performance.

The pace of technology innovation is accelerating. The investment demonstrates the company's long-term commitments and builds on the foundation we created during the last ten years. Through the Intel Capital India Technology Fund, Intel will help Indian companies drive technology adoption locally and identify new business opportunities globally. We will grow our local operations, boost venture capital investment and work closely with the government, industry and educators to increase the impact of the country's Information and Communication Technology.

underscores the need for a proactive U.S. competitiveness agenda that promotes research and development and encourages a work force skilled in math, science and technology, among other things.

We look forward to seasonally strong business in the fourth quarter, ... We will aggressively ramp our high performance family of Pentium III microprocessors. At the same time, we are accelerating our new business activities in networking, communications products, and online services, as illustrated by the number of acquisitions made in the third quarter.

Our goal is to be the building-block supplier to the Internet economy.

Micron is one of the industry leaders with a new generation of products and leading-edge manufacturing technology. Our goal in making this equity investment is ensuring an adequate supply of memory components, particularly Direct RDRAM. This is a significant strategic investment that supports our microprocessor road map into 2000 and beyond.

Will supply and demand dictate a rise in wages for COBOL programmers? I think the real issue will be a movement away from older infrastructures, but if you need Fortran, you will end up paying for it.

We continue to drive the convergence of computing and communications through our product lineup, and with this we see wireless local area networking and wide area cellular technologies coming together,

We had growth across nearly all of our geographies and product lines, including strong microprocessor sales. In the third quarter, the PC industry recovered from its inventory problems and is benefiting from strong seasonal demand.

We need to work together (with the U.S. government) to make trade agreements with China right for both of us,

We are seeing positive results from the launch of new products across all segments, including the introductions of the Pentium III and Pentium III Xeon processors and higher speed Intel Celeron and mobile Pentium II processors,

Today's announced merger extends our strength in networking and communications. It provides us with the silicon building blocks necessary to supply the rapidly growing demands created by the Internet and e-commerce.

While supply remains tight entering the second quarter, we are ramping our 0.18-micron manufacturing technology rapidly in five facilities and expanding to eight facilities by year-end, which will substantially increase supply in the coming quarters,

We have been aggressive last year and so far this year. You should extrapolate our aggressiveness going forward,

Why does the U.S. subsidize three industries of the 19th century and no industries of the 21st century?

We believe growth of the PC industry will continue and are taking appropriate steps to make sure that Intel will be able to meet the needs of our customers.

The opening of this facility brings new manufacturing capabilities to China and further strengthens the country's ability to deliver products to the worldwide market.

When a major corporation like Intel chooses to relocate, the other corporations will follow.

We will spend more on development resources for the Basic PC.

committed to investing for growth and returning excess cash to our stockholders.

Discovery, ingenuity and innovation have always been at the forefront of the U.S. economic and technological leadership. Unfortunately recent indicators show that we are at risk of losing our competitive edge. The business community commends the President for making American competitiveness a national goal.

Essentially all of our businesses will be conducted in this fashion,

The semiconductor industry faces many technical challenges that need to be addressed if we are to maintain the rate of progress that has been the hallmark of our industry. The Focus Center Program is designed to create a nationwide multiuniversity network of research centers that will help keep the United States and U.S. semiconductor firms at the front of the global microelectronics revolution.

Our announcement is an assembly and test factory, a 300 million dollar initial investment, 1,200 people initial employment: (it's) just one small initial step.

Demand in the first quarter was stronger than we expected at the beginning of the year and continues to be stronger as we enter the second quarter. We also expect a strong second half, and are accelerating our investments in capacity to meet future demand.

As expected, second quarter revenue reflected a seasonal slowdown,

The bottom line is that we want images on PCs to become as easy to use and as ubiquitous as text is today. If digital imaging is easy, affordable and fun for consumers, we believe it will spur PC demand and contribute to the ultimate goal of creating new users and new uses for the PC platform.

As one who is facing an FTC issue, I will refrain from comment,

This is acceptable to both parties and was the result of constructive dialog between Intel and the FTC,

This merger strengthens Intel's position as a key supplier to the converging Internet and telecommunications industry. Our goal is to make Intel-based servers the foundation of e-business and communications applications based on integrated voice and data networks.

There will be a scarcity of expertise, but I wouldn't suggest people major in vacuum tubes, and there's a scarcity of vacuum tubes as well.

As we aggressively drive improved visual computing capabilities to the personal computer, graphics solutions are an increasingly important part of mobile PC platforms.

India has evolved into one of the world's leading technology centers.

I know we've seen relatively strong announcements of GDP growth in the U.S., but as far as I can tell, that hasn't translated into corporate profitability or corporate IT investment growth, ... I wish I had something better to tell you.

If I were to label the issue, it's one of program management and getting all the bits and pieces pulled together in the right order. We are still very hot on the technology. I don't think a six-month slip is a major impact from a product standpoint.

Innovate, integrate, innovate, integrate, that's the way the industry works, ... Graphics was a stand-alone graphics card; then it's going to be a stand-alone graphics chip; and then part of that's going to get integrated into the main CPU.

Investing in education and providing 21st century skills for students are fundamental components to the nation's continued growth and prosperity.

You will see 32-bit and 64-bit products in parallel for five to 10 years. If you look at the desktop market, by the time you get 64-bit applications on the desktop for the sort of things we do in our home, it will be some time before we get into that space.

The closure of the investigation reflects our view that Intel conducts its business in an ethical and lawful manner,

The communications part of the business is still weak and suffering from what is a combination of over investment and a recessionary trend,
