MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
Our strategy for notebook PCs is to deliver platforms with optimized performance, battery life, form factor and wireless connectivity. For performance
mobility users, we offer the Intel Core Duo processor, the Intel Core Solo and the Intel Pentium M processor. For value mobile platforms, we offer the
Intel Celeron M processor and the Mobile Intel Celeron processor. The primary platforms offered by the Mobility Group are the Intel Centrino mobile
technology platform and the Intel Centrino Duo mobile technology platform. We also offer wireless connectivity solutions based on the 802.11
industry standard. In addition, we are developing wireless connectivity solutions for networks based on the 802.16 industry standard, commonly
known as WiMAX. The current versions of our WiMAX products are used in high-speed, fixed wireless broadband networks.
Our application and cellular baseband processors utilize Intel XScale technology. Intel XScale technology provides processing and multimedia
graphics capability for data-enabled mobile phones and PDAs. We offer application processors sold as discrete chips or in stacked packaging solutions
(stacking an application processor with memory).
Flash Memory Group
The strategy for the Flash Memory Group is to provide advanced flash memory products for cellular phones, digital audio players and embedded form
factors. We offer a broad range of memory densities, leading-edge packaging technology and high-performance functionality. In support of our
strategy, we offer NOR flash memory products such as Intel StrataFlash wireless memory for advanced mobile phone designs. In addition to product
offerings for cellular customers, we offer NOR flash memory products that meet the needs of other market segments, such as the embedded market
segment. The embedded market segment includes NOR flash memory products found in various applications, including set-top boxes, networking
products, and other devices including DVD players and DSL and cable modems. Additionally, in January 2006 we formed IMFT, a NAND flash
memory manufacturing company, with Micron. Products manufactured by IMFT and sold by Intel are currently being used in digital audio players.
We offer a variety of stacked memory products, including products based on our NOR flash, as well as our NOR flash plus SRAM and/or NAND
flash, which we currently purchase from third-party vendors. Stacking of memory products refers to packaging several memory chips together.
Digital Home Group
The strategy for the Digital Home Group is to design and deliver computing- and communications-oriented platforms that meet the demands of
consumers as digital content becomes increasingly accessible through a variety of connected digital devices within the home. We are focusing on
components for digital home living-room entertainment applications and PCs designed for the digital home. We offer Intel Viiv technology-based
platforms for use in the digital home. Platforms based on Intel Viiv technology include the Intel Pentium D, Pentium Processor Extreme Edition or
Intel Core Duo processor, as well as a chipset, a network connectivity device and enabling software, all optimized to work together in the digital home
environment. We also offer microprocessors and chipsets for embedded consumer electronics designs, such as digital televisions, video recorders and
set-top boxes.
Digital Health Group
The strategy for the Digital Health Group is to target global business opportunities in healthcare research, diagnostics and productivity, as well as
personal healthcare. In support of this strategy, the Digital Health Group is focusing on healthcare information technologies, personal health products
and bio-medical products.
Channel Platforms Group
The strategy for the Channel Platforms Group is to expand on Intel’s worldwide presence and success in global markets by accelerating channel
growth. In addition, the Channel Platforms Group is developing unique platform solutions designed to meet local market needs in certain geographies.
