Craig Barrett Product Quotations

We are seeing positive results from the launch of new products across all segments, including the introductions of the Pentium III and Pentium III Xeon processors and higher speed Intel Celeron and mobile Pentium II processors,

We continue to drive the convergence of computing and communications through our product lineup, and with this we see wireless local area networking and wide area cellular technologies coming together,

We have recovered from those missteps and the machine is firing on all eight cylinders in terms of new product introductions,

Micron is one of the industry leaders with a new generation of products and leading-edge manufacturing technology. Our goal in making this equity investment is ensuring an adequate supply of memory components, particularly Direct RDRAM. This is a significant strategic investment that supports our microprocessor road map into 2000 and beyond.

The opening of this facility brings new manufacturing capabilities to China and further strengthens the country's ability to deliver products to the worldwide market.

You will see 32-bit and 64-bit products in parallel for five to 10 years. If you look at the desktop market, by the time you get 64-bit applications on the desktop for the sort of things we do in our home, it will be some time before we get into that space.

If I were to label the issue, it's one of program management and getting all the bits and pieces pulled together in the right order. We are still very hot on the technology. I don't think a six-month slip is a major impact from a product standpoint.

We had growth across nearly all of our geographies and product lines, including strong microprocessor sales. In the third quarter, the PC industry recovered from its inventory problems and is benefiting from strong seasonal demand.
