Where did the INTC earnings go?
Thats an easy one... stock buy backs. INTC spent about $2.5B last quarter, and the two quarters before that as well, on buying their own stock. This pretty much makes the earnings disappear.

UND, alright, so you want to know where the cash flow goes. That's easy, but you're not going to get all the information from the link you provided. You'll need to check the Cash Flows section of the actual SECC submission. Here is the Q2 10-Q form right here:

This should be easy enough to understand. The In-Flows start with the net income ($4,216) and adds in all the operating adjustments ($2,512) to get the "Net cash provided by operating activities" ($6,728). The next flows total up under the categories of "Net cash used for investing activities" (-$1,001) and "Net cash used for financing activities" (-$5,159). You can then take the sum of all these ($568) and it will equal the difference between the "Cash and cash equivalents" between the beginning ($8,407) and end ($8,975) of the period.

This should show you exactly how Intel's balance sheet adds up.
