                        Report of Independent Auditors


The Plan Administrative Committee
Intel Puerto Rico Retirement Savings Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Intel Puerto Rico Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31,
1997 and 1996, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1997. 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
Puerto Rico Retirement Savings Plan at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December
31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Fund Information in the statements of net assets available for benefits
and the statement 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.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following description of the Intel Puerto Rico Retirement 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 employees of Intel Puerto
Rico, Inc. and Intel Microprocessor Corporation - Puerto Rico Branch (the
Companies). Employees are eligible to participate in the Plan, effective the
first day of the calendar quarter following one month of service.

The Plan is intended to be qualified under Section 1165(a) and Section 1165(e)
of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 1994, as amended, and pursuant to
Section 1022(i)(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA) under Section 401(a) and Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 (the Code).

TRUSTEE

Mellon Bank N.A. is the Plan's custodian, and Chase Manhattan Bank is the
trustee of the Plan.

CONTRIBUTIONS AND PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

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 $7,500 in 1997). Such
contributions are withheld by the Companies 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 the Companies' contributions
and forfeitures to each participant in total for the Plan and the Intel Puerto
Rico Profit Sharing Retirement Plan are limited to the lesser of $30,000 or 25%
of a participant's compensation.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (continued)

Participant Accounts
- --------------------
Separate accounts are maintained for each participant. The account balances
are generally adjusted as follows:
 
     -  Monthly 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.

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.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

All administrative expenses are paid by the Companies.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

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.

Investments in shares of registered investment companies, cash and cash
equivalents, loan participations, corporate bonds, and notes and certificates
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.

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 of
the year 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.

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.

GUARANTEED INVESTMENT CONTRACTS

The Plan holds guaranteed investment contracts with insurance companies 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, 1997, the Master Trust held guaranteed investment contracts in
the amount of $4,607,000 with insurance companies that have Standard & Poor's
ratings of AA or better at the time of purchase. No more than approximately
$2,741,000 of the guaranteed investment contracts is with any one insurance
company.

As of December 31, 1996, the Master Trust held a guaranteed investment contract
of approximately $3,257,000 with Confederation Life Insurance Company
(Confederation Life). In August 1994, Canadian regulators seized the assets of
Confederation Life due to concerns over the quality of the investment
portfolio. A trustee was appointed until a realization of the Company's
assets was completed. As of August 1994, the Confederation Life portion of
each participant's account had been segregated into a separate account. 
The Master Trust made the election for the Scudder Fixed Income Fund to 
receive a total recovery of principal and interest estimated to be 119% of 
the asset contract value.  As of December 31, 1997, there was no significant
remaining Master Trust amount related to this guaranteed investment contract.

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 Plan, the Intel Corporation 401(k) 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 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:

</TABLE>

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 because
of a participant's retirement, disability, death, or participant-directed
transfers, in accordance with the terms of the Plan. As of December 31, 1997
and 1996, the Master Trust held wrapper contracts with a notional amount of
$26,444,000 and $24,785,000 with a fair value of approximately ($113,000) and
$30,346, respectively.

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)



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 Companies by a letter, dated
December 10, 1992, that the Plan is qualified and the trust established under
the Plan is tax exempt under the appropriate sections of the Code. The
Companies have also received a determination letter, dated May 11, 1993, from
the Puerto Rico Department of the Treasury that the Plan meets the
requirements for qualification under Puerto Rico income tax laws and that the
trust forming a part of the Plan is exempt from income taxes. The Plan has been
amended since receiving the determination letters. However, the plan
administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and
is currently being operated in compliance with the Code and Puerto Rico income
tax law.

9. PLAN TERMINATION

Although they have not expressed any intent to do so, the Companies have 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 Companies. 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 Companies have developed a plan to modify their internal information
technology to be ready for the year 2000 and have begun converting critical
data processing systems. The Companies plan to establish year 2000 compliance
in all internal applications relevant to the Plan by June 30, 1999. The
Companies' plans also include determining whether third-party service providers
have reasonable plans in place to become year 2000 compliant. The Companies
requested action plans and implementation schedules that will accommodate year
2000 compliance from the administrator and the trustee. The Companies have
been informed that the administrator and the trustee expect implementation and
testing of action plans to be complete prior to June 30, 1999. The Companies
do not expect the year 2000 projects discussed above to have a significant
effect on plan operations.
