Uh, I don't think that?s right at all.
I believe Intel made a pro forma profit of 3.8 billion last year, compared to 12.1 billion in 2000. I think the stat you?re referring to is just a section of Intel's non-microprocessor-oriented solutions division (they are in other markets besides microprocessors you know 🙂).
But I?m pretty darn sure that Intel didn?t lost money in the U.S. last year. Besides, their market share in the U.S. is bigger than it is in Europe and Asia, but that can be a misleading stat too I guess...
