The 'fully diluted' number of shares that is used to calculate profit per share includes shares reserved for employee grants.

I think 'fully diluted' only counts shares that have actually been granted from the pool, but I could be wrong. If you watch you'll see the fully diluted number creep up about one million each quarter as more shares are granted out to employees. I'm not sure how to account for this creeping if it isn't stock options being granted. Here are the diluted share counts for the last 2 years:

I guess we'll find out for sure if the 17.4 is added now or over time when Q2 earnings are reported.

sgolds, I agree. Intel woke up to the fact that AMD could finally be a competitor. The question is how fast does a large ship like Intel turn around? In this forum, we all know that cpu designs takea long time. So, the question remains. When did Intel start turning around internally and can they meet all the goals they set for themselves or are these new "roadmaps" just for OEM consumption so they don't jump ship to AMD? I think a wait and see attitude would be prudent. Let's see which of these targets can Intel hit.
