                        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, 1999
and 1998, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1999. 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 auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. 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, 1999 and 1998, and the
changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended December
31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States.

                       Notes to Financial Statements

                             December 31, 1999


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 U.S. employees of Intel
Corporation. Upon hire, 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. 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. Effective
     January 1, 1987, the PAYSOP program was amended so that no further
     contributions would be made.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (continued)

CONTRIBUTIONS AND PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS (continued)

     Participant Contributions
     --------------------------
     Participants are allowed to contribute from 1% to 12% (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
     1999 and 1998). 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 elect to
     invest in eleven mutual funds, the Intel Stock Fund, and the Scudder
     Fixed Income Fund. Scudder Kemper Investments 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 company. 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.

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.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (continued)

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, which may be in the form of a direct transfer to
another eligible retirement plan. In the event of financial hardship or death,
the benefits are usually paid in a single lump sum.

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. All loans to participants are
secured by the participant's account balances.  The loan provisions are
established and administered by the Sheltered Employee Retirement Plan
(SERP)Administration Department.

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.

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.

During 1999, the Plan paid nonrecurring conversion-related expenses of
approximately $886,000 related to the conversion to a new recordkeeper.

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 3) are stated at each 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, mutual funds, debt
securities, equity securities, and participant loans 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. Mutual funds are valued at quoted
market prices that represent the net asset values of shares held at year end.
Interest bearing cash and money market funds are stated at cost plus accrued
interest which approximate fair value. Participant loans are valued at their
outstanding balances which approximate fair value.

Investments not traded in active markets are stated at the estimated 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,
which is the difference between the fair value of investments at the
beginning and the end of the year.

The Master Trust holds derivative financial instruments in order to manage
market risks and to alter the return characteristics of underlying securities
to match certain fund objectives. Interest rate swap contracts and 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. Foreign currency forward contracts and Standard &
Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500 Index) options are stated at fair value as of the
last day of the year. Realized and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in
the fair value of all derivative financial instruments are currently
recognized in income.

                 Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION (continued)

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 are unallocated in nature and are valued at contract value,
which approximates fair value, as reported 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.

RECLASSIFICATION

Certain amounts for 1998 have been reclassified to conform with the 1999
presentation.

                 Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 1999, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued Statement of Position 99-3, "Accounting for and Reporting of Certain
Defined Contribution Benefit Plan Investments and Other Disclosure Matters"
(SOP 99-3). The 1999 financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with SOP 99-3.

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 the
adoption of FAS 133 no earlier than the year 2001. 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.

3. 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 company's Treasury Department manages all assets of the Master Trust
that pertain to company contributions and has discretionary authority
for the related purchases and sales of investments, subject to the
general investment policies of the Investment Policy Committee of
the company.

The value of the Plan's interest in the Master Trust included in the
statements of net assets available for benefits represents 38.16% and 36.12%
of undivided interests in the net assets of the Master Trust at December 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively. Interest, dividends, net appreciation
(depreciation) in the fair value of investments, and expenses are allocated
to the Plan based upon its pro rata share in the net assets of the Master
Trust.

The Master Trust held investments in interest bearing cash and money market
funds, mutual funds, debt securities, participant loans, wrapper contracts,
and guaranteed investment contracts specifically allocated to the Plan at
December 31, 1999 and 1998.

Certain Master Trust investments are shares of the company's common stock
specifically allocated to the Plan. Transactions in shares of the company's
common stock qualify as party-in-interest transactions under the provisions
of ERISA. During 1999, the Master Trust made purchases and sales of the
company's common stock of approximately $136,451,000 and $10,783,000,
respectively. The Plan had a 95.45% and 99.79% interest in the company's
common stock held by the Master Trust at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

4. GUARANTEED INVESTMENT CONTRACTS

The Master Trust held guaranteed investment contracts with insurance
companies specifically 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, 1999, the Master
Trust held guaranteed investment contracts in the amount of $5,152,000
($4,891,000 at December 31, 1998) with insurance companies that have S&P
Index's ratings of AA or better at the time of purchase. No more than
approximately $3,064,000 ($2,904,000 in 1998) of the guaranteed investment
contracts is with any one insurance company.

5. WRAPPER CONTRACTS

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. 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, 1999
and 1998, the Master Trust held wrapper contracts with notional amounts of
$44,974,000 and $33,832,000 with a fair value of approximately $1,274,000 and
($36,000), 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 is limited to the
fair value of the contracts with each counterparty.

9. INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue
Service, dated June 24, 1999, stating that the Plan is qualified under
Section 401(a) of the Code, and therefore, the related trust is exempt from
taxation. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with
the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan has been amended since
receiving the determination letter. However, the plan administrator and its
internal tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being
operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code.

10. 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.
