                         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, 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 Puerto Rico Retirement 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.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                              December 31, 1998


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, (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 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 U.S. Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 (the Code).

TRUSTEE

Mellon Bank N.A. (the Custodian) is the Plan's custodian, and Banco Popular de
Pureto Rico (the Trustee) is the trustee of the Plan.  Prior to February 1998,
Chase Manhattan Bank was 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 $8,000 in 1998 and $7,500 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 the Company 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)

CONTRIBUTIONS AND PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS (continued)

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.

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

In 1998, all audit and trustee-related expenses were paid by the Plan.  All
other administrative expenses were paid by the Company.  In 1997, all
administrative expenses were paid by the Company.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of
accounting.

               Notes to Financial Statements (continued)



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 value of Master Trust investments held at year end.

Investments in interest bearing cash, money market funds, shares of registered
investment companies, loan participations, corporate bonds, 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.
Interest bearing cash and money market funds are stated at cost plus accrued
interest which approximates 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 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 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 in the year 2000. Management of the Plan is currently evaluating
the effects of the statement, 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.

3. INVESTMENTS

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 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 Custodian 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):

</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 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.

                    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 Company by a letter dated,
December 10, 1992, that the Plan and related trust is qualified and the trust
established under the Plan is tax exempt under the appropriate sections of the
Code. The Company has 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 internal 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 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.
