(A)  Excludes  a  charge  related  to  the  weak  die/packaging  material  set  that
        was  used  in  certain  versions  of  our  previous  generation  chips,  net  of
        insurance  reimbursement.

(B)  During  the  three  months  ended  April  26,  2009,  the  Company  completed  a
        tender  offer  to  purchase  outstanding  stock  options  which  resulted  in  a
        charge  of  $140.2  million,  $11.4  million  of  which  was  associated  with
        cost  of  revenue  and  $128.8  million  with  operating  expenses.

(C)  On  January  10,  2011,  the  Company  and  Intel  entered  into  a  new  six-year
        cross  licensing  agreement  and  both  parties  also  agreed  to  settle  all
        outstanding  legal  disputes.    For  accounting  purposes,  the  fair  valued
        benefit  prescribed  to  the  settlement  portion  was  $57.0  million.

(D)  The  income  tax  impact  of  non-GAAP  adjustments  has  only  been  reported
        during  fiscal  quarters  that  include  other  GAAP  to  non-GAAP  reconciling
        items,  as  well  as  in  the  full  fiscal  year  results  during  which  the  GAAP
        to  non-GAAP  reconciling  items  occur.  As  such,  any  effective  tax  rate
        differences  between  GAAP  and  non-GAAP  results  that  result  from  such
        adjustments  have  not  been  reported  separately  in  the  non-GAAP  results
        for  a  fiscal  quarter  that  does  not  contain  other  GAAP  to  non-GAAP
        reconciling  items.

(E)  Reflects  an  adjustment  to  diluted  shares  to  reflect  a  non-GAAP  net
        income  versus  a  GAAP  net  loss.
