For assets and liabilities categorized as Level 3 and recognized at fair value, these amended standards require disclosure of quantitative information about unobservable inputs, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements. In addition, these amended standards require that we disclose the level in the fair value hierarchy for financial instruments disclosed at fair value but not recorded at fair value. These new standards are effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2012; early adoption of these standards is prohibited. We do not expect these new standards to significantly impact our consolidated financial statements. </font></p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'> </p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0px;">In 2011, the FASB issued amended standards to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. These amendments eliminate the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity and require that all changes in stockholders' equity—except investments by, and distributions to, owners—be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. These new standards are effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2012 and are to be applied retrospectively. These amended standards will impact the presentation of other comprehensive income but will not impact our financial position or results of operations. </font></p>

(AMD) that we used unfair business practices to persuade customers to buy our microprocessors. We have received numerous requests for information and documents from the EC, and we have responded to each of those requests. The EC issued a Statement of Objections in July 2007 and held a hearing on that Statement in March 2008. The EC issued a Supplemental Statement of Objections in July 2008.</font></p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'> </p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0px;">In May 2009, the EC issued a decision finding that we had violated Article 82 of the EC Treaty and Article 54 of the European Economic Area Agreement. In general, the EC found that we violated Article 82 (later renumbered as Article 102 by a new treaty) by offering alleged “conditional rebates and payments” that required our customers to purchase all or most of their x86 microprocessors from us. The EC also found that we violated Article 82 by making alleged “payments to prevent sales of specific rival products.” The EC imposed a fine in the amount of €</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">1.06</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> billion ($</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">1.447</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> billion as of May 2009), which we subsequently paid during the third quarter of 2009, and also ordered us to “immediately bring to an end the infringement referred to in” the EC decision. In the second quarter of 2009, </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">we recorded the related charge within marketing, general and administrative. </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">We strongly disagree with the EC's decision, and we appealed the decision to the Court of First Instance (which has been renamed the General Court) in July 2009. </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">The EC</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> filed an answer to our reply brief in November </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">2010. </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">The court's decision, after oral argument, is expected in late 2012 or early 2013. </font></p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'> </p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0px;">The EC decision exceeds 500 pages and does not contain specific direction on whether or how we should modify our business practices. Instead, the decision states that we should “cease and desist” from further conduct that, in the EC's opinion, would violate applicable law. We have taken steps, which are subject to the EC's ongoing review, to comply with that decision pending appeal. We opened discussions with the EC to better understand the decision and to explain changes to our business practices. Based on our current understanding and expectations, we do not believe that any such changes will be material to our financial position, results, or cash flows. </font></p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'> </p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0px;">In June 2005, we received an inquiry from the Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) requesting documents from our Korean subsidiary related to marketing and rebate programs that we entered into with Korean PC manufacturers. In February 2006, the KFTC initiated an inspection of documents at our offices in Korea. In September 2007, the KFTC served on us an Examination Report alleging that sales to two customers during parts of 2002–2005 violated Korea's Monopoly Regulation and Fair Trade Act. In December 2007, we submitted our written response to the KFTC. In February 2008, the KFTC's examiner submitted a written reply to our response. In March 2008, we submitted a further response. In April 2008, we participated in a pre-hearing conference before the KFTC, and we participated in formal hearings in May and June 2008. In June 2008, the KFTC announced its intent to fine us approximately $</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">25</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> million for providing discounts to Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and TriGem Computer Inc. In November 2008, the KFTC issued a final written decision concluding that our discounts had violated Korean antitrust law and imposing a fine on us of approximately $</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">20</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> million, which we paid in January 2009. In December 2008, we appealed this decision by filing a lawsuit in the Seoul High Court seeking to overturn the KFTC's decision. We expect a decision from the court in 2012.</font></p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'> </p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0px;">In November 2009, the State of New York filed a lawsuit against us in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The lawsuit alleged that we violated federal antitrust laws; the New York Donnelly Act, which </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">prohibits contracts or agreements to monopolize</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">; and the New York Executive Law, which proscribes underlying violations of federal and state antitrust laws. </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">The lawsuit alleged that we engaged in a systematic worldwide campaign of illegal, exclusionary conduct to maintain monopoly power and prices in the market for x86 microprocessors through the use of various alleged actions, including exclusive or near-exclusive agreements from large computer makers in exchange for “loyalty payments” and “bribes,” and other alleged threats and retaliation. New York claimed that our alleged actions harmed New York consumers, competition, and innovation. The complaint sought a declaration that our alleged actions violated federal and New York antitrust laws and New York Executive Law; an injunction to prevent further alleged unlawful acts; damages in an amount to be proven at trial </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">based on alleged overcharges on purchases of computers containing Intel microprocessors by New York state agencies and non-state entities, as well as by individual New York consumers</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">, trebled as provided for by law under the Sherman Act or Donnelly Act, restitution, and disgorgement; </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">$</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">1</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">million in civil penalties for alleged violations of the Donnelly Act; and attorneys' fees and costs. We disagreed with the </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">State of New York's allegations and claims, and noted that we intended to conduct a vigorous defense of the lawsuit. We filed our answer in January 2010.</font></p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'> </p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0px;">In December 2010, the State of New York requested the court's permission to amend its complaint to expand the scope of parties covered by its Donnelly Act and Executive Law claims to include small and medium businesses operating within the state of New York. We opposed that request, and in May 2011, the court denied the State of New York permission to amend its complaint. In May 2011, we filed three motions: the first seeking partial summary judgment on any claims for damages under the Sherman Act based on purchases of computers containing Intel microprocessors not made within four years of the filing of the complaint, and any claims for damages under the Donnelly Act and Executive Law based on purchases not made within three years of the filing of the complaint; the second seeking dismissal of all claims brought on behalf of non-State of New York public entities on the ground that the State of New York did not obtain proper requests to represent them; and the third seeking judgment on the pleadings on the ground that the State of New York could not recover damages on behalf of New York consumers for certain claims. </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">The court granted each of these motions in December 2011. </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">These rulings greatly reduced the scope of the New York Attorney General's lawsuit. In addition, in October 2011, we filed two other motions for summary judgment and a motion seeking to exclude the opinions and testimony of New York's economic expert. We sought summary judgment on the grounds that each of New York's claims lacked legal merit because our discounted prices challenged in the lawsuit were lawful and that New York could not establish antitrust injury because, among other things, it had no evidence of any harm to competition from our alleged actions. </font></p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'> </p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0px;">In February </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">2012, we announced a settlement of the lawsuit. The agreeme</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">nt, which followed the court's </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">December 2011 rulings in Intel's favor, expressly states that Intel does not admit either any violation of law or that the allegations in the complaint are true, and it calls for no changes to the way Intel does business. The a</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">greement includes a payment of </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">$</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">6.5</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> million from Intel that is intended only to cover some of the costs incurred by the </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">State of </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">New York in the litigation. New York agreed to dismiss its action with prejudice, close any pending investigations arising out of the allegations of the complaint and those previously investigated by the F</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">ederal </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">T</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">rade </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">C</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">ommission</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">, and provide a release of claims against Intel and a covenant not to sue. New York also agreed to seek and obtain separate releases from non-state entities </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">that</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">receive any portion of the settlement fund.</font></p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'> </p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0px;">At least 82 separate class actions have been filed in the U.S. District Courts for the Northern District of California, Southern District of California, District of Idaho, District of Nebraska, District of New Mexico, District of Maine, and District of Delaware, as well as in various California, Kansas, and Tennessee state courts. These actions generally repeat </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">the allegations made in a now-settled lawsuit filed against Intel by AMD in June 2005 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (AMD litigation). Like the AMD litigation, these class-action suits allege that Intel engaged in various actions in violation of the Sherman Act and other laws by, among other things, providing discounts and rebates to our manufacturer and distributor customers conditioned on exclusive or </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">near-</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">exclusive dealings that allegedly unfairly interfered with AMD's ability to sell its microprocessors, interfering with certain AMD product launches, and interfering with AMD's participation in certain industry standards-setting groups. </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">The </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">class actions allege </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">various consumer injuries, including that consumers in various states have been injured by paying higher prices for computers containing our microprocessors. </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">We dispute the class-action claims and intend to defend the lawsuits vigorously.</font></p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'> </p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0px;">All of the federal class actions and the Kansas and Tennessee state court class actions have been transferred by the Multidistrict Litigation Panel to the U.S. District Court in Delaware for all pre-trial proceedings and discovery (MDL proceedings). The Delaware district court has appointed a Special Master to address issues in the MDL proceedings, as assigned by the court. In January 2010, the plaintiffs in the Delaware action filed a motion for sanctions for our alleged failure to preserve evidence. This motion largely copies a motion previously filed by AMD in the AMD litigation, which has settled. The plaintiffs in the MDL proceedings also moved for certification of a class of members who purchased certain </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">PCs</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> containing products sold by Intel. In July 2010, the Special Master issued a Report and Recommendation (Class Report) denying the motion to certify a class. </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">The </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">MDL </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">plaintiffs filed objections to the Special Master's </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">Class Report</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">, and a hearing on these objections </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">was held in</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> March 2011. </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">The Delaware district court has not yet ruled on those objections. </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">All California class actions have been consolidated in the Superior Court of California in Santa Clara County. The plaintiffs in the California actions have moved for class certification, which we are in the process of opposing. At our request, the court in the California actions has agreed to delay ruling on this motion until after the Delaware </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">district court rules on the similar motion in the MDL proceedings. Based on the procedural posture and the nature of the cases, including, but not limited to, the fact that the Special Master's Class Report is on review in the Delaware district court, we are unable to make a reasonable estimate of the potential loss or range of losses, if any, arising from these matters.</font></p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'> </p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;margin-left:0px;">Lehman Matter</font></p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'> </p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0px;">In November 2009, representatives of the Lehman Brothers OTC Derivatives Inc. (LOTC) bankruptcy estate advised us informally that the estate was considering a claim against us arising from a 2008 contract between Intel and LOTC. Under the terms of the 2008 contract, Intel prepaid $</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">1.0</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> billion to LOTC, in exchange for which LOTC was required to purchase and deliver to Intel the number of shares of Intel common stock that could be purchased for</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">$</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">1.0</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> billion at the discounted volume-weighted average price specified in the contract for the period September 2, 2008 to September 26, 2008. LOTC's performance under the contract was secured by $</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">1.0</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> billion of cash collateral. Under the terms of the contract, LOTC was obligated to deliver approximately </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">50</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> million shares of our common stock to us on September 29, 2008. LOTC failed to deliver any shares of our common stock, and we exercised our right to setoff against the $</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">1.0</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> billion collateral. LOTC has not initiated any action against us to date, but in February 2010, LOTC served a subpoena on us in connection with this transaction. In October 2010, LOTC demanded that Intel pay it at least $</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">417</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> million. In September 2010, we entered into an agreement with LOTC that tolled any applicable statutes of limitations for 90 days and precluded the parties from commencing any formal proceedings to prosecute any claims against each other in any forum during that period. The tolling agreement with LOTC was extended several times, but lapsed in June 2011. We continue to believe that we acted appropriately under our agreement with LOTC, and we intend to defend any claim to the contrary.</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">No complaint has been filed and we are in </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">the</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">early stages of evaluating this dispute, and accordingly </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">are unable </font><font style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">to make a reasonable estimate of the potential loss or range of losses, if any, arising from this matter</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">.</font></p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'> </p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;margin-left:0px;">Frank T. Shum v. Intel Corporation, Jean-Marc Verdiell, and LightLogic, Inc. </font></p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'> </p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0px;">We acquired LightLogic, Inc. in May 2001. Frank Shum subsequently sued us, LightLogic, and LightLogic's founder, Jean-Marc Verdiell, claiming that much of LightLogic's IP is based on alleged inventions that Shum conceived while he and Verdiell were partners at Radiance Design, Inc. Shum has alleged claims for fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, fraudulent concealment, and breach of contract. Shum also seeks alleged correction of inventorship of seven patents acquired by us as part of the LightLogic acquisition. In January 2005, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California denied Shum's inventorship claim, and thereafter granted our motion for summary judgment on Shum's remaining claims. In August 2007, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit vacated the District Court's rulings and remanded the case for further proceedings. In October 2008, the District Court granted our motion for summary judgment on Shum's claims for breach of fiduciary duty and fraudulent concealment, but denied our motion on Shum's remaining claims. A jury trial on Shum's remaining claims took place in November and December 2008. In pre-trial proceedings and at trial, Shum requested monetary damages against the defendants in amounts ranging from $</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">31</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> million to $</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">931</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> million, and his final request to the jury was for as much as $</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">175 </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">million. Following deliberations, the jury was unable to reach a verdict on most of the claims. With respect to Shum's claim that he is the proper inventor on certain LightLogic patents now assigned to us, the jury agreed with Shum on some of those claims and was unable to reach a verdict regarding the remaining claims. In April 2009, the court granted defendants' motions for judgment as a matter of law. Shum appealed that ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which heard oral arguments in August </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">2010</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> and affirmed the trial court's orders in favor of Intel in December</font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;"> 2010. </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">In January 2011, Shum petitioned the Federal Circuit for a re-hearing and re-hearing en banc. </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">In February 2011, the Federal Circuit denied Shum's request. </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">Shum petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court for review in May 2011, and we filed our response in August </font><font style="font-family:Times;font-size:10pt;">2011. The U.S. Supreme Court denied certiorari in October 2011, ending the matter.</font></p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt'> </p>
