Just last week, one of those Fools, All-Star MrOneHundred, succinctly summed up the Intel bull case for our community
Strong name brand, cheap (P/E of 9.97), and getting a foot in the tablet and mobile industry. Recent earnings slip were not much of a surprise in a PC dying market, but the Haswell chip set holds promise for this corporation to continue to thrive. (Even if it doesn't fair well, I'm confident that Intel's R&D will find something.) The company's administration seems to be performing excellently.
