Report of Independent Auditors
The Plan Administrative Committee
Intel Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Intel Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31,
1998 and 1997, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Intel
Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Fund Information in the statements of net assets available for
benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather
than to present the net assets available for plan benefits and
changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund.
The Fund Information has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Intel Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following description of the Intel Corporation 401(k)
Savings Plan (the Plan)provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the plan document for a more complete
description of the Plan's provisions.
GENERAL
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all domestic
employees of Intel Corporation (the Company). Employees are eligible to
participate in the Plan, effective the first day of the calendar quarter
following thirty days of service. The Plan is subject to the provisions
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
CREATION OF THE PLAN
The Intel Corporation Profit Sharing Retirement Plan (the Predecessor
Plan), authorizing discretionary employer contributions, has historically
included a cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal
Revenue Code (the Code). Effective January 1, 1996, the Predecessor Plan was
divided into two components for purposes of ERISA: the Intel Corporation
401(k) Savings Plan and the Intel Corporation Profit Sharing Retirement Plan.
The Intel Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan consists of participants' deferred
accounts, employee accounts, PAYSOP accounts, and rollover accounts.
The basic and discretionary Intel Corporation contribution accounts remain
in the Intel Corporation Profit Sharing Retirement Plan.
TRUSTEE
Mellon Bank N.A. (the Trustee) is the Plan's trustee.
CONTRIBUTIONS AND PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS
Company Contributions
- --------------------- - Prior to 1987, the Company contributed shares of its
common stock (PAYSOP contributions) based on a percentage of each participant's
qualified compensation as defined in the Predecessor Plan. Participants may not
transfer funds from the PAYSOP account to other investment options. Effective
January 1, 1987, the PAYSOP program was amended so that no further contributions
would be made.
Intel Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (continued)
CONTRIBUTIONS AND PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS (continued)
PAYSOP contributions are held in a separate fund by the Trustee. For financial
statement purposes, this fund has been combined with the Intel Stock Fund. The
value of the PAYSOP shares in the Intel Stock Fund as of December 31, 1998 is
approximately $100,518,000 (approximately $65,003,000 for 1997). For the year
ended December 31, 1998, PAYSOP investment income was $39,491,000 ($3,381,000
for 1997) and benefits paid were $158,000 ($1,827,000 for 1997).
Participant Contributions
- ------------------------- - Participants are allowed to contribute from
1% to 10% (limited to certain percentages for highly compensated individuals)
of their annual compensation on a before-tax basis (to a maximum amount
of $10,000 in 1998 and $9,500 in 1997). Such contributions are withheld by
the Company from each participant's compensation and deposited in the
appropriate fund in accordance with the participant's directives. Participants
may change their investment elections on a monthly basis.
Participant contributions and the allocation of Company contributions and
forfeitures to each participant in total for the Plan and the Intel Corporation
Profit Sharing Retirement Plan are limited to the lesser of $30,000 or 25% of a
participant's compensation.
Participant Accounts
- -------------------- - Separate accounts are maintained for each participant.
The account balances are generally adjusted as follows:
- Biweekly for participant contributions.
- Daily for a pro rata share of gains or losses on the
Plan's investments based on the ratio that each participant's
account bears to the total of all such accounts.
Intel Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (continued)
TRANSFER OF PLAN ASSETS
In May 1998, the Company purchased the semiconductor operations of Digital
Equipment Corporation (Digital). At the time of purchase, Digital maintained
the Digital Equipment Corporation Savings and Investment Plan (the Digital
Plan), a defined contribution plan that provided for employee deferrals
and employer matching contributions. The participants in the Digital Plan
who became employees of the Company became eligible to participate in the
Plan subsequent to the purchase by the Company. The Digital Plan assets
of those participants who became employees of the Company were transferred
to the Plan in September 1998.
In January 1998, the Company acquired the outstanding shares of Chips and
Technologies, Inc. (C&T). At the time of purchase, C&T maintained the Chips
and Technologies, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the C&T Plan), a defined contribution
plan that provided for employee deferrals and employer matching
contributions. The participants in the C&T Plan who became employees of
the Company became eligible to participate in the Plan subsequent to the
acquisition by the Company. The C&T Plan assets were transferred to the
Plan in September 1998.
VESTING
Participants are immediately 100% vested with respect to contributions to
all accounts in the Plan as well as the related earnings from such
contributions.
PAYMENT OF BENEFITS
Participants are eligible for a distribution of Plan benefits
upon termination of service, financial hardship (as defined by the Plan),
or death. Upon termination of service, the normal form of benefit is an
annuity. However, a participant may elect, with spousal consent, to have
benefits paid in a single lump sum. In the event of financial hardship or
death, the benefits are usually paid in a single lump sum.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (continued)
PARTICIPANT LOANS
All participants are permitted to obtain loans of up to 50% of their combined
vested account balances in the Plan and the Intel Corporation Profit Sharing
Retirement Plan up to a maximum of $50,000. The loan provisions are established
and administered by the Company's Sheltered Employee Retirement Plan (SERP)
Administration Department. Loan accounts are maintained in a separate
account by the Trustee.
The amounts borrowed by the participants are first withdrawn from the vested
value of the Intel Corporation Profit Sharing Retirement Plan accounts until
these funds are exhausted and then withdrawn from the accounts of the Plan.
Repayments of loans are transferred to the participants' accounts in
the Plan and Intel Corporation Profit Sharing Retirement Plan in the
ratio in which such accounts provided funding for the loan.
Loan activity for 1998 included approximately $7,473,000 of loans made to
and $1,960,000 of repayments from the Plan's participants
($4,188,000 and $4,147,000 for 1997).
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
The Company pays a portion of the expenses for administration of the Plan.
All other administrative expenses are paid directly by the Plan.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.
INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Investments in the Master Trust (see Note 4) are stated at the Plan's
proportionate share of participation in the Master Trust, based upon the
fair market value of Master Trust investments held at year end.
Intel Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
(continued)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION (continued)
Investments in interest bearing cash, money market funds, shares of registered
investment companies, loan participations, corporate bonds, notes, certificates,
and participant loans receivable are stated at fair value as of the last day of
the year. The fair value for securities traded on a national securities exchange
or over-the-counter market is the last reported sales price as of the valuation
date. The shares of registered investment companies are valued at quoted market
prices that represent the net asset values of shares held by the Plan at year
end. Interest bearing cash and money market funds are stated at cost plus
accrued interest which approximate fair value. Participant loans receivable
are valued at their outstanding balances which approximate fair value.
Investments not traded in an active market are stated at fair value, computed
using pricing models at current rates. Investment income includes the gain
(loss) realized on the sale of securities and unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) in the fair market value of investments held by the Plan,
which is the difference between the fair value of investments at the
beginning and the end of the year.
The Master Trust holds wrapper contracts specifically allocated to the Plan
in order to manage market risks and to alter the return characteristics of
underlying securities to match certain fixed income fund objectives
(see Note 5). Wrapper contracts with insurance companies are stated at fair
market value as of the last day of the year and are netted against the fair
value of the related underlying investment.
Investment transactions are recognized as of their trade dates, and collateral
has been obtained and secured against investments whenever deemed necessary.
Interest is accrued monthly; dividends are accrued when declared.
Guaranteed investment contracts are entered into with insurance companies.
The contracts, which are unallocated in nature, are valued at contract value,
which approximates fair value, as reported to the Plan by the respective
insurance companies. Contract value represents contributions made under the
contracts plus interest at the contract rates less withdrawals and
administrative expenses. If the funds in the guaranteed investment contracts
are needed for benefit payments prior to contract maturity, they may be
withdrawn without penalty.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
PAYMENT OF BENEFITS
Benefits are recorded when paid.
CONTRIBUTIONS
Participant contributions are accrued by the Plan when the deferrals are
made from the participants' salaries.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" (FAS 133). The Plan anticipates adoption of FAS 133 no
earlier than the year 2000. Management of the Plan is currently evaluating the
effects of FAS 133 but, because the Plan accounts for all financial instruments
at fair value (or amounts that approximate fair value), the Plan's management
does not anticipate that the adoption of the new statement will have a
significant effect on the recognized investment income or the net assets
available for benefits of the Plan.

GUARANTEED INVESTMENT CONTRACTS
The Master Trust held guaranteed investment contracts with insurance companies
allocated to the Plan in order to provide participants with a stable,
fixed-rate return of investment and protection of principal from changes in
market interest rates. As of December 31, 1998, the Master Trust held
guaranteed investment contracts in the amount of $4,891,000 with insurance
companies that have Standard & Poor's ratings of AA or better at the time
of purchase. No more than approximately $2,904,000 of the guaranteed
investment contracts is with any one insurance company.
4. INTEREST IN THE MASTER TRUST
All of the investments of the Plan are held in the Master Trust which consists
of the assets of the Plan, the Intel Corporation Profit Sharing Retirement
Plan, the Intel Corporation Defined Benefit Pension Plan, the Intel Puerto Rico
Profit Sharing Retirement Plan, the Intel Puerto Rico Retirement Savings Plan,
and the Intel Puerto Rico Defined Benefit Pension Plan. Each plan shares in the
assets and earnings of the Master Trust in proportion to its respective
interests in the Master Trust. The Trustee holds all investments of the
Master Trust. Assets within mutual funds are managed by the respective mutual
fund managers. Scudder, Stevens & Clark has discretionary authority for the
purchase and sale of investments in the Scudder Fixed Income Fund, subject to
the general investment policies of the Investment Policy Committee of the Plan.
The following is a summary of the assets and liabilities of the Master Trust
and the interest of the Plan in the Master Trust as of December 31 (in
thousands, except percentages):
1998 1997

5. WRAPPER CONTRACTS
The Master Trust holds wrapper contracts in order to manage market risks and to
alter the return characteristics of underlying securities to match certain
fixed income fund objectives. Wrapper contracts generally change the investment
characteristics of underlying securities (such as corporate debt or U.S.
government securities) to those of guaranteed investment contracts. Guaranteed
investment contracts provide participants with a stable, fixed-rate return of
investment and protection of principal from changes in market interest rates.
The wrapper contracts provide that benefit-responsive distributions for
specific underlying securities may be withdrawn at contract or face value.
Benefit-responsive distributions are generally defined as a withdrawal on
account of a participant's retirement, disability, death, or participant-
directed transfers in accordance with the terms of the Plan. As of December 31,
1998 and 1997, the Master Trust held wrapper contracts with a notional amount
of $33,832,000 and $26,444,000 with a fair value of approximately ($36,000)
and ($113,000), respectively.
6. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Plan's exposure to a concentration of credit risk is limited by the
diversification of investments across thirteen participant-directed fund
elections. Additionally, the investments within each participant-directed
fund election are further diversified into varied financial markets. The
Plan's exposure to credit risk on the wrapper contracts in the Scudder
Fixed Income Fund is limited to the fair value of the contracts with each
counterparty.

8. INCOME TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service has informed the Company by a letter, dated
September 6, 1994, that the Intel Corporation Profit Sharing Retirement
Plan (the Predecessor Plan) is qualified and the trust established under
the Predecessor Plan is tax exempt under the appropriate sections of the
Code. The Predecessor Plan has been amended to segregate the 401(k)
Savings component to a separate plan since receiving the determination
letter. However, the plan administrator and its internal tax counsel
believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in
compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code.

9. PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to amend or terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason.
The Plan may be amended by the Board of Directors of the Company. No amendment
of the Plan shall reduce the benefit of any participant which accrued under
the Plan prior to the date when such amendment is adopted. In the event of a
plan termination, participants will remain 100% vested in their accounts.
10. YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE (UNAUDITED)
The Company has developed a plan to modify its internal information technology
to be ready for the year 2000 and has begun converting critical data processing
systems. The Company plans to have internal applications relevant to the Plan
year 2000 capable by mid-1999. The Company's plan also includes determining
whether third-party service providers have reasonable plans in place to become
year 2000 capable. The Company has been informed that the administrator and
the Trustee of the Plan expect implementation and testing of action plans to
be complete prior to July 31, 1999. The Company has also been informed that
the investment managers expect implementation and testing of action plans to
be complete prior to September 30, 1999. The Company does not expect the year
2000 projects discussed above to have a significant effect on Plan operations.
