Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Ruling of the Korea Fair Trade Commission.  The Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) has ruled that Intel Corporation (‘Intel”) has violated Korean antitrust laws on two counts of “abuse of dominance.”  The Commission fined Intel approximately $25.4 million (26 billion Korean won).  Intel representatives have stated that the company is extremely disappointed by the decision of the KFTC and believes that the ruling represents an outcome that will dampen, not enhance, the price competition that has resulted in lower prices for customers and consumers. 

The company will review the ruling and it is presently expected that Intel will request a further review from the KFTC and, if it proves necessary, an appeal which will permit a Korean court to review the case in its entirety and reach its own decision in the matter. 

U.S. Federal Trade Commission. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein is a press release of Intel Corporation announcing that Intel has received a subpoena from the United States Federal Trade Commission related to Intel’s business practices with respect to competition in the microprocessor market.

See “Legal Proceedings” in Part I, Item 3 and “Note 21: Contingencies” in Part II, Item 8 of the 2007 Form 10-K and "Legal proceedings" in Part II, Item 1 and "Note 16: Contingencies" in the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of the Q1 2008 Form 10-Q for further information concerning government investigations and lawsuits relating to competition matters.

The information in this report shall be deemed incorporated by reference into any registration statement heretofore or hereafter filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except to the extent that such information is superseded by information as of a subsequent date that is included in or incorporated by reference into such registration statement. The information in this report shall not be treated as filed for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
