"We are pleased with our accomplishments this quarter. We made progress positioning Intel for the evolving Internet
economy. The Pentium® III processor, a high performance multimedia processor for the
most demanding Internet applications, is on track to be our fastest ramping processor ever," said Dr. Craig R. Barrett,
president and chief executive officer. "In addition, we regained market segment share in the value PC segment with the
Intel® Celeron(tm) processor. As expected, second quarter revenue reflected a seasonal slowdown, and we look forward to
a strong second half."
