Strong microprocessor shipments in the first quarter led to some inventory correction in the second quarter as the industry prepared for a rapid transition to processors with MMX technology,
We are delighted with the excellent acceptance of Pentium and Pentium Pro processor-based PCs and servers, which has produced a stronger third quarter than we had originally expected.
Demand for the Pentium processor with MMX technology and the Pentium II processor is strong and we are ramping production at a record rate.
