Recent Developments
On June 1, 2015, we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement under which we would acquire Altera Corporation for $54 per
share in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $16.7 billion. The acquisition will couple Intel's leading-edge products and manufacturing
process with Altera's leading field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technology. The combination is expected to enable new classes of products that
meet customer needs in the data center and Internet of Things market segments. We plan to offer Altera's FPGA products with Intel Xeon® processors
as highly customized, integrated products. The companies also expect to enhance Altera's products through design and manufacturing improvements
resulting from Intel's integrated device manufacturing model. The transaction is expected to be accretive to our non-GAAP EPS and free cash flow in
the first year after close. The transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, including the approval of Altera's
stockholders.

proceeds from the financings that did close would be used as described

date, the offering price and, if applicable, the payment of interest accruing
prior to the issue date of such additional notes and the first payment of interest
following the issue date of such additional notes); provided, that if such
additional notes are not fungible with the notes of the applicable series
offered hereby for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional notes
will have one or more separate CUSIP numbers. Any further notes will have
the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the notes.
Form of Notes
We will issue the notes of each series in the form of one or more fully
registered global notes registered in the name of the nominee of The
Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). Investors may elect to hold the interests

this prospectus supplement.

for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for all forward-looking statements. Our actual results
may differ materially, and these forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, or other
business combinations that had not been completed as of the date of this prospectus supplement. Any of the following factors may impact our
achievement of results.
·
Our revenue and gross margin percentage could vary significantly from expectations based on the demand for our products; the timing of
our product introductions and related expenses, including manufacturing ramp and marketing expenses; the mix of products sold; and
product manufacturing quality/yields.
·
Demand for our products is highly variable and could be different from expectations due to factors including the introduction,
availability and market acceptance of our products, products used together with our products and competitors' products; our ability to
respond quickly to technological developments and to introduce new products or incorporate new features into existing products;
competitive and pricing pressures, including actions taken by competitors; changes in business and economic conditions; consumer
confidence or income levels; supply constraints and other disruptions affecting customers; changes in customer order patterns including
order cancellations; and changes in the level of inventory at customers.
·
We operate in highly competitive industries and our operations have high costs that are either fixed or difficult to reduce in the short
term. Our cash flow, cash and liquid investments, and related financial metrics including EBITDA can be impacted by numerous factors
such as unexpected expenditures (including payments to resolve legal proceedings), research and development and capital expenditure
decisions, acquisitions, and dividends and stock repurchases.
·
Our results could be affected by adverse economic, social, political and physical/infrastructure conditions in countries where we, our
customers or our suppliers operate, including military conflict and other security risks, natural disasters, infrastructure disruptions, health
concerns and fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Results may also be affected by the formal or informal imposition by countries of
new or revised export and/or import and doing-business regulations which could be changed without prior notice.

·
We may not achieve the expected financial benefits from any acquisition, divestiture or other significant transactions, including our
proposed acquisition of Altera.
·
Our proposed acquisition of Altera is subject to various closing conditions, many of which are beyond our control. If that acquisition
does not close for any reason, it would affect our use of the net proceeds of this offering and any Additional Debt Financings. See "Use
of Proceeds."
·
Product defects or errata (deviations from published specifications) may adversely impact our expenses, revenues and reputation.
·
We may be affected by litigation or regulatory matters involving intellectual property, stockholder, consumer, antitrust, disclosure and
other issues. An unfavorable ruling could include monetary damages or an injunction prohibiting us from manufacturing or selling one or
more products, precluding particular business practices, impacting our ability to design our products or requiring other remedies such as
compulsory licensing of intellectual property.
·
Our results may be affected by the other risks, uncertainties and assumptions included in our periodic reports and in other documents that
we file with the SEC.
This list of factors is not exhaustive, and new factors may emerge or changes to the foregoing factors may occur that would affect our business. In
light of these factors, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus may not
occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. These statements are
based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
Although we undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the notes involves certain risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors described under "Risk Factors" in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2014, as supplemented by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 28,
2015, as well as the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, before
making an investment decision. Additional risks and uncertainties not now known to us or that we now deem immaterial may also adversely affect our
business or financial performance. Our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially adversely affected by any
of these risks. The market or trading price of the notes could decline due to any of these risks or other factors, and you may lose all or part of your
investment.
In addition to the risks relating to us described in our reports described above and any subsequent filings, the following are additional risks
relating to an investment in the notes.
The notes are structurally subordinated to the liabilities of our subsidiaries.
The notes are our obligations exclusively and not of any of our subsidiaries. A significant portion of our operations is conducted through our
subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries are separate legal entities that have no obligation to pay any amounts due under the notes or to make any funds available
therefor, whether by dividends, loans or other payments. Except to the extent we are a creditor with recognized claims against our subsidiaries, all
claims of creditors (including trade creditors) and holders of preferred stock, if any, of our subsidiaries will have priority with respect to the assets of
such subsidiaries over our claims (and therefore the claims of our creditors, including holders of the notes). Consequently, the notes will be effectively
subordinated to all liabilities of any of our subsidiaries and any subsidiaries that we may in the future acquire or establish.
The notes are subject to prior claims of any secured creditors, and if a default occurs, we may not have sufficient funds to fulfill our obligations
under the notes.
The notes are our unsecured general obligations, ranking equally with other senior unsecured indebtedness. The indenture governing the notes
permits us and our subsidiaries to incur additional debt, including secured debt. If we incur any secured debt, our assets and the assets of our
subsidiaries will be subject to prior claims by our secured creditors. In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or other winding up,
assets that secure debt will be available to pay obligations on the notes only after all debt secured by those assets has been repaid in full. Holders of the
notes will participate in our remaining assets ratably with all of our unsecured and unsubordinated creditors, including our trade creditors. If we incur
any additional obligations that rank equally with the notes, including trade payables, the holders of those obligations will be entitled to share ratably
with the holders of the notes and the previously issued notes in any proceeds distributed upon our insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or
other winding up. This may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to you. If there are not sufficient assets remaining to pay all these
creditors, all or a portion of the notes then outstanding would remain unpaid.
The limited covenants in the indenture for the notes and the terms of the notes do not provide protection against some types of important corporate
events and may not protect your investment.
The indenture for the notes does not:
·
require us to maintain any financial ratios or specific levels of net worth, revenues, income, cash flow or liquidity and, accordingly, does
not protect holders of the notes in the event that we experience significant adverse changes in our financial condition or results of
operations;

·
limit our subsidiaries' ability to incur indebtedness, which could structurally rank senior to the notes;
·
limit our ability to incur secured indebtedness that would effectively rank senior to the notes to the extent of the value of the assets
securing the indebtedness, or to engage in sale/leaseback transactions;
·
limit our ability to incur indebtedness that is equal in right of payment to the notes;
·
restrict our subsidiaries' ability to issue securities or otherwise incur indebtedness that would be senior to our equity interests in our
subsidiaries and therefore would be structurally senior to the notes;

·
restrict our ability to repurchase or prepay our securities;
·
restrict our ability to make investments or to repurchase or pay dividends or make other payments in respect of our common stock or
other securities ranking junior to the notes;
·
restrict our ability to enter into highly leveraged transactions; or
·
require us to repurchase the notes in the event of a change in control.
As a result of the foregoing, when evaluating the terms of the notes, you should be aware that the terms of the indenture and the notes do not restrict
our ability to engage in, or to otherwise be a party to, a variety of corporate transactions, circumstances and events, such as certain acquisitions,
refinancings or recapitalizations that could substantially and adversely affect our capital structure and the value of the notes. For these reasons, you
should not consider the covenants in the indenture as a significant factor in evaluating whether to invest in the notes.
Changes in our credit ratings may adversely affect your investment in the notes.
The major debt rating agencies routinely evaluate our debt. These ratings are not recommendations to purchase, hold or sell the notes, inasmuch as
the ratings do not comment as to market price or suitability for a particular investor, are limited in scope, and do not address all material risks relating to
an investment in the notes, but rather reflect only the view of each rating agency at the time the rating is issued. The ratings are based on current
information furnished to the ratings agencies by us and information obtained by the ratings agencies from other sources. An explanation of the
significance of such rating may be obtained from such rating agency. There can be no assurance that such credit ratings will remain in effect for any
given period of time or that such ratings will not be lowered, suspended or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies, if, in each rating agency's
judgment, circumstances so warrant. Actual or anticipated changes or downgrades in our credit ratings, including any announcement that our ratings are
under further review for a downgrade, could affect the market value and liquidity of the notes and increase our corporate borrowing costs.
Active trading markets for the notes may not develop.
There is no existing market for any series of the notes and we will not apply for listing of the notes on any securities exchange or any automated
quotation system. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that trading markets for the notes will ever develop or will be maintained. Further, there can
be no assurance as to the liquidity of any market that may develop for the notes, your ability to sell your notes or the prices at which you will be able to
sell your notes. Future trading prices of the notes will depend on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, our financial condition and results of
operations, the then-current ratings assigned to the notes and the market for similar securities. Any
S-8

trading markets that develop would be affected by many factors independent of and in addition to the foregoing, including:
·
time remaining to the maturity of the notes;
·
outstanding amount of the notes;
·
the terms related to optional redemption of the notes; and
·
the level, direction and volatility of market interest rates generally.
Optional redemption or the special mandatory redemption on the 2025 notes and the 2045 notes may adversely affect your return on the notes.
We have the right to redeem some or all of the notes prior to maturity. We may redeem these notes at times when prevailing interest rates may be
relatively low. Accordingly, you may not be able to reinvest the amount received upon a redemption in a comparable security at an effective interest
rate as high as that of the notes.
Our ability to complete our acquisition of Altera is subject to various conditions, certain of which are beyond our control. The merger agreement
with respect to our acquisition of Altera contains termination provisions permitting termination of the merger agreement in certain circumstances. If we
do not consummate our acquisition of Altera on or prior to December 31, 2016 or if, on or prior to such date, the merger agreement is terminated, then
we will be required to redeem all outstanding 2025 notes and 2045 notes on the special mandatory redemption date at a redemption price equal to 101%
of the aggregate principal amount of these notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the special mandatory redemption date. See
"Description of the Notes--Special Mandatory Redemption" in this prospectus supplement. If we redeem the 2025 notes and 2045 notes pursuant to the
special mandatory redemption, you may not obtain the return that you expected on your investment in the 2025 notes and 2045 notes. Whether or not
the special mandatory redemption is ultimately triggered, it may adversely affect trading prices for the 2025 notes and 2045 notes prior to the special
mandatory redemption date. You will have no rights under the special mandatory redemption provisions as long as the Altera acquisition closes. The
