Intel To Take $200M Hit With Recall
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) - Intel Corp. (NasdaqNM:INTC - news) is expecting to take a $200 million hit in the second quarter from costs associated with its motherboard recall, company officials said Tuesday.
The estimated charge would bring the total cost of the recall to about $253 million, Intel spokesman Tom Beermann said.
The motherboard recall, announced May 10, stems from a flaw with a component that allowed computer makers to use standard computer memory instead of the costly Rambus-based memory.

The flaw can cause computers to crash or reset, Intel said.
As part of the recall, Intel is giving users new motherboards stocked with the more expensive Rambus-based memory.
Beermann said Intel's estimates of the recall charge is based on the return rate of the flawed product. He would not disclose the rate.
Also Tuesday, Intel announced it expects to net $2.3 billion from stock earnings in the second quarter, up from the company's previous projection of $725 million. A significant source of the massive capital gains is the sale of shares in memory maker Micron Technologies.
Beermann would not give details about the company's changes in Micron holdings.
He said the impetus behind Intel's stock sales was unrelated to the recall charge. ``From time to time, we capitalize on our investments,'' he said.
Intel's second-quarter results will be announced July 18.
