Item 2.02                      Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein is information as presented in Intel Corporation’s press release of January 31, 2011 announcing updated fourth quarter 2010 financial information and Business Outlook for the first quarter of 2011 and full-year 2011, to reflect (i) a circuit design issue in recently released Intel® 6 Series chipsets, (ii) the completion of the acquisition of the Infineon Technologies AG Wireless Solutions business (Infineon WLS), and (iii) the anticipated completion of the acquisition of McAfee, Inc. before the end of the first quarter of 2011.
 
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United States (U.S.) generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this release contains non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are helpful in understanding and comparing our past financial performances and our future results.  The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the company exclude certain business combination accounting impacts and expenses related to acquisitions and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on the following items, as well as the related income tax effects:

 
·  
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets:  Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets consists of amortization of acquired technology purchased in connection with business acquisitions. Intel incurs charges relating to the amortization of these intangibles, and the charges are included in our GAAP financial statements. Amortization charges for Intel’s acquired technology are inconsistent in size and are significantly impacted by the timing and valuation of Intel’s acquisitions. Consequently, Intel excludes these charges for purposes of calculating the non-GAAP financial measures to facilitate an evaluation of Intel’s current operating performance and comparisons to Intel’s past operating performance.
 
·  
Inventory valuation adjustment:  Business combination accounting principles require us to measure inventory acquired at fair value.   The fair value of inventory reflects the acquired company’s cost of manufacturing plus a portion of the expected profit margin. The non-GAAP adjustment to our cost of sales is intended to exclude the expected profit margin.  We believe the adjustment is helpful in understanding the ongoing performance of our business. 

Set forth below are reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
