                          INTRODUCTION

Corporation,  a  Delaware  corporation  (the  "Company"  or   the
Registrant"), relating to 65,000,000 shares of its common  stock,

All  reports  and  other  documents  subsequently  filed  by  the

Item 4.   Description of Securities.
          
          Not applicable.
          
Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
          
          Not applicable.
          
Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
          
Section  145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL")
makes provision for the indemnification of officers and directors
of  corporations  in terms sufficiently broad  to  indemnify  the
officers   and   directors  of  the  Corporation  under   certain
circumstances   from  liabilities  (including  reimbursement   of
expenses  incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933,  as
amended  (the  "Act").  Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL  permits  a
corporation to provide in its Certificate of Incorporation that a
director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages  for  breach
of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any
breach  of  the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation  or
its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which  involve intentional misconduct or a knowing  violation  of
law,  (iii)  in respect of certain unlawful dividend payments  or
stock  redemptions  or repurchases, or (iv) for  any  transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

As  permitted  by  the  DGCL,  the Corporation's  Certificate  of
Incorporation  (the  "Charter") provides  that,  to  the  fullest
extent permitted by the DGCL or decisional law, no director shall
be  personally  liable to the Corporation or to its  stockholders
for  monetary  damages  for breach of his  fiduciary  duty  as  a
director.   The  effect of this provision in the  Charter  is  to
eliminate  the  rights  of the Corporation and  its  stockholders
(through  stockholders'  derivative  suits  on  behalf   of   the
Corporation)  to recover monetary damages against a director  for
breach  of  fiduciary  duty  as  a  director  thereof  (including
breaches  resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior)
except in the situations described in

<PAGE> II-3

clauses  (i)-(iv), inclusive, above.  These provisions  will  not
alter the liability of directors under federal securities laws.

The   Corporation's  Bylaws  (the  "Bylaws")  provide  that   the
Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a  party  or
is  threatened to be made a party to any threatened,  pending  or
completed  action, suit or proceeding, whether  civil,  criminal,
administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he  is
or  was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation
or  is  or  was  serving at the request of the Corporation  as  a
director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation  or
enterprise  (including  an employee benefit  plan),  against  all
expenses,   liability  and  loss  (including   attorneys'   fees,
judgments,  fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties, and  amounts
paid  or to be paid in settlement, and any interest, assessments,
or  other charges imposed thereof, and any taxes imposed on  such
person  as  a  result  of such payments) reasonably  incurred  or
suffered   by  such  person  in  connection  with  investigating,
defending, being a witness in, or participating in (including  on
appeal),  or  preparing for any of the foregoing in such  action,
suit or proceeding, to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL,
provided  that  the Corporation shall indemnify  such  person  in
connection with any such action, suit or proceeding initiated  by
such  person only if authorized by the Board of Directors of  the
Corporation or brought to enforce certain indemnification rights.

The  Bylaws also provide that expenses incurred by an officer  or
director  of the Corporation (acting in his capacity as such)  in
defending  any such action, suit or proceeding shall be  paid  by
the  Corporation,  provided that if required  by  the  DGCL  such
expenses  shall be advanced only upon delivery to the Corporation
of  an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to
repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is
not  entitled  to  be  indemnified by the Corporation.   Expenses
incurred by other agents of the Corporation may be advanced  upon
such  terms  and  conditions as the Board  of  Directors  of  the
Corporation  deems appropriate.  Any obligation to reimburse  the
Corporation for expenses advanced under such provisions shall  be
unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon.

The  Bylaws also provide that indemnification provided for in the
Bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which
the  indemnified  party  may  be  entitled;  that  any  right  of
indemnification or protection provided under the Bylaws shall not
be  adversely  affected by any amendment, repeal, or modification
of the Bylaws; and that the Corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance to protect itself and any such person against any  such
expenses,  liability  and loss, whether or  not  the  Corporation
would  have  the  power  to indemnify such  person  against  such
expenses, liability or loss under the DGCL or the Bylaws.

In  addition  to  the  above, the Corporation  has  entered  into
indemnification agreements with each of its directors and certain
of   its   officers.   The  indemnification  agreements   provide
directors  and  officers  with the same  indemnification  by  the
Corporation as described above and assure directors and  officers
that  indemnification will continue to be provided despite future
changes  in the Bylaws of the Corporation.  The Corporation  also
provides  indemnity  insurance pursuant  to  which  officers  and
directors are indemnified or

<PAGE> II-4

insured  against  liability or loss under certain  circumstances,
which  may include liability or related loss under the Securities
Act and the Exchange Act.

Item 9.   Undertakings.
          
     (1)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
          
          (a)  To  file,  during any period in which  offers  or
               sales  are being made, a post-effective amendment
               to this registration statement:
               
               (i)   To  include  any  prospectus  required   by
               section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
               
               (ii)  To  reflect in the prospectus any facts  or
               events  arising after the effective date  of  the
               registration statement (or the most recent  post-
               effective  amendment thereof) which, individually
               or  in  the  aggregate, represent  a  fundamental
               change  in  the  information  set  forth  in  the
               registration   statement.   Notwithstanding   the
               foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume  of
               securities offered (if the total dollar value  of
               securities  offered would not exceed  that  which
               was registered) and any deviation from the low or
               high  and of the estimated maximum offering range
               may  be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
               with  the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b)  if,
               in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
               represent no more than a 20 percent change in the
               maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
               "Calculation  of Registration Fee" table  in  the
               effective registration statement;
               
               (iii)   To include any material information  with
               respect   to   the   plan  of  distribution   not
               previously    disclosed   in   the   registration
               statement   or  any  material  change   to   such
               information in the registration statement;
               
          provided,  however,  that  paragraphs  (1)(a)(i)   and
          (1)(a)(ii) do not apply if the information required to
          be  included  in a post-effective amendment  by  those
          paragraphs is contained in periodic reports  filed  by
          the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
          of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference
          in this registration statement.
          
          (b)  That,   for   the  purpose  of  determining   any
               liability  under the Securities  Act,  each  such
               post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be  a
               new   registration  statement  relating  to   the
               securities  offered therein, and the offering  of
               such  securities at that time shall be deemed  to
               be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
               
          (c)  To  remove from registration by means of a  post-
               effective  amendment any of the securities  being
               registered which remain unsold at the termination
               of the offering.
               
     (2)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
          purposes  of  determining  any  liability  under   the
          Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual
          report  pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d)  of
          the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference  in
          the
          
<PAGE> II-6

          Registration Statement shall be deemed  to  be  a  new
          registration  statement  relating  to  the  securities
          offered  therein, and the offering of such  securities
          at  that  time shall be deemed to be the initial  bona
          fide offering thereof.
          
     (3)  Insofar  as  indemnification for  liabilities  arising
          under   the   Securities  Act  may  be  permitted   to
          directors,  officers and controlling  persons  of  the
          Registrant  pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or
          otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
          opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
          indemnification is against public policy as  expressed
          in  the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In  the
          event  that  a claim for indemnification against  such
          liabilities (other than the payment by the  Registrant
          of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
          controlling person of the Registrant in the successful
          defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
          by  such  director, officer or controlling  person  in
          connection  with the securities being registered,  the
          Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its  counsel
          the  matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
          submit  to  a  court of appropriate  jurisdiction  the
          question whether such indemnification by it is against
          public  policy  as expressed in the Act  and  will  be
          governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re:  Proposed Offering of up to 65,000,000 Shares of Common Stock

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We  refer  to an aggregate of 65,000,000 shares of Common  Stock,
par  value  $.001  per  share, of Intel Corporation,  a  Delaware
corporation  (the  "Company"),  which  are  the  subject   of   a
registration statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement")
to  be  filed  with the Securities and Exchange  Commission  (the
"Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as  amended  (the
"Act").  The shares of Common Stock (the "Shares") subject to the
Registration  Statement  are  to  be  issued  under   the   Intel
Corporation 1997 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").

We  have  examined  the original, or a photostatic  or  certified
copy, of such records of the Company, certificates of officers of
the  Company and of public officials and such other documents  as
we  have  determined relevant and necessary as the basis for  the
opinion  set  forth below.  In such examination, we have  assumed
the  genuineness  of  all  signatures, the  authenticity  of  all
documents  submitted  to  us  as  originals,  the  conformity  to
original  documents of all documents submitted to us as certified
or  photostatic copies and the authenticity of the  originals  of
such copies.

Based upon our examination mentioned above, we are of the opinion
that  the  Shares have been validly authorized for issuance  and,
when  issued and sold in accordance with the terms set  forth  in
the  Registration  Statement and the  Plan,  and,  when  (a)  the
Registration  Statement has become effective under the  Act,  (b)
the  pertinent provisions of any applicable state securities  law
have  been  complied with, and (c) in the case of options  issued
under the Plans, the Shares have

<PAGE> 2

been  paid  for, the Shares so issued will be legally issued  and
will be fully paid and nonassessable.

We  consent  to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit  to  the
Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm appearing
on  the  cover  of the Registration Statement.   In  giving  this
consent,  we  do  not admit that we are within  the  category  of
persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the  Act  or
the General Rules and Regulations of the Commission.

Very truly yours,

/s/Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP

GIBSON, DUNN & CRUTCHER LLP
