Basis of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation [Text Block]	Note 1: Basis of Presentation We prepared our interim consolidated condensed financial statements that accompany these notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, consistent in all material respects with those applied in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2015 . We have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to current period presentation. We have a 52- or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Saturday in December. Fiscal year 2015 was a 52-week year. Fiscal year 2016 is a 53-week fiscal year, and the first quarter of 2016 was a 14-week quarter. In the first quarter of 2016, we completed the acquisition of Altera Corporation (Altera). For further information, see " Note 8: Acquisitions ." We have made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in our consolidated condensed financial statements and the accompanying notes. The actual results that we experience may differ materially from our estimates. The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all normal adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2015 .

Change in Accounting Estimate [Abstract]
Accounting Changes [Text Block]	Note 2: Change in Accounting Estimate During our 2015 annual assessment of the useful lives of our property, plant, and equipment, we determined that the useful lives of machinery and equipment in our wafer fabrication facilities should be increased from 4 to 5 years. This change in estimate was applied prospectively, effective at the beginning of the first quarter of 2016. During the three months ended July 2, 2016 , this change increased our operating income by approximately $300 million , our net income by approximately $200 million , and our diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.04 . During the six months ended July 2, 2016 , this change increased our operating income by approximately $500 million , our net income by approximately $350 million , and our diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.07 .

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Standards [Text Block]	Note 3: Recent Accounting Standards Accounting Standards Adopted Deferred Tax Classification. In the first quarter of 2016, we elected to early adopt an amended standard requiring that we classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as non-current on the consolidated condensed balance sheet instead of separating deferred taxes into current and non-current. The amended standard was adopted on a retrospective basis. As a result of the adoption, we made the following adjustments to the consolidated condensed 2015 balance sheet: a $2.0 billion decrease to current deferred tax assets, a $430 million increase to non-current deferred tax assets, a $21 million decrease to current deferred tax liabilities, and a decrease of $1.6 billion to non-current deferred tax liabilities. Business Combinations. In the first quarter of 2016, we adopted an amended standard requiring that we recognize the effect on earnings of any adjustments identified during the measurement period after an acquisition in the same period the adjustment is identified, as opposed to the prior standard which required material adjustments be retrospectively adjusted. The standard did not have a significant impact on our consolidated condensed financial statements. Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted Revenue Recognition. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new standard to achieve a consistent application of revenue recognition within the U.S., resulting in a single revenue model to be applied by reporting companies under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Under the new model, recognition of revenue occurs when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the new standard requires that reporting companies disclose the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. On July 9, 2015, the FASB agreed to delay the effective date by one year; accordingly, the new standard is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2018 and we expect to adopt it at that time. The new standard is required to be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying it recognized at the date of initial application. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the impact of the new standard on our consolidated condensed financial statements. Financial Instruments - Classification and Measurement. In January 2016, the FASB issued changes to the accounting for financial instruments that primarily affect equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements. This standard is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2018; certain provisions allow for early adoption and we are evaluating whether we will do so. The new standard should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, with certain exceptions. We have not yet determined the impact of the new standard on our consolidated condensed financial statements. Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued a new standard requiring measurement and recognition of expected credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. This standard is effective for us in the first quarter of 2020; early adoption is permitted beginning in the first quarter of 2019 and we are evaluating whether we will early adopt. It is required to be applied on a modified-retrospective approach with certain elements being adopted prospectively. We have not yet determined the impact of the new standard on our consolidated condensed financial statements. Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued a new lease accounting standard requiring that we recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. This standard is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2019; early adoption is permitted and we are evaluating whether we will do so. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition which includes certain practical expedients. We have not yet determined the impact of the new standard on our consolidated condensed financial statements. Shared-Based Compensation. In March 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update aimed at simplifying the accounting for share-based payment transactions. Included in the update are modifications to the accounting for income taxes upon vesting or settlement of awards, employer tax withholding on shared-based compensation, forfeitures, and financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits. This standard is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2017 and we will adopt it at that time. We have not yet determined the impact of the new standard on our consolidated condensed financial statements.

Fair Value

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value [Text Block]	Note 4: Fair Value Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact, and we consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. Our financial assets are measured and recorded at fair value, except for cost method investments, cost method loans receivable, equity method investments, grants receivable, and reverse repurchase agreements with original maturities greater than approximately three months. Substantially all of our liabilities are not measured and recorded at fair value. Fair Value Hierarchy The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows: Level 1. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in less active markets, or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices that can be corroborated with observable market data, as well as quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions. Level 3. Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities. Level 3 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices or non-binding broker quotes that we were unable to corroborate with observable market data. Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis at the end of each period were as follows: July 2, 2016 December 26, 2015 Fair Value Measured and Recorded at Reporting Date Using Fair Value Measured and Recorded at Reporting Date Using (In Millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets Cash equivalents: Corporate debt $ — $ 695 $ — $ 695 $ — $ 1,829 $ — $ 1,829 Financial institution instruments 207 939 — 1,146 8,238 1,277 — 9,515 Government debt — 18 — 18 — 130 — 130 Reverse repurchase agreements — 968 — 968 — 2,368 — 2,368 Short-term investments: Corporate debt 380 1,346 14 1,740 336 764 20 1,120 Financial institution instruments 400 1,253 — 1,653 145 927 — 1,072 Government debt 55 853 — 908 65 425 — 490 Trading assets: Asset-backed securities — 181 23 204 — 275 94 369 Corporate debt 1,984 1,000 — 2,984 1,744 564 — 2,308 Financial institution instruments 904 735 — 1,639 930 701 — 1,631 Government debt 1,952 2,724 — 4,676 1,107 1,908 — 3,015 Other current assets: Derivative assets — 409 — 409 32 412 1 445 Loans receivable — 402 — 402 — 137 — 137 Marketable equity securities 5,351 — 43 5,394 5,891 69 — 5,960 Other long-term investments: Asset-backed securities — — — — — — 4 4 Corporate debt 994 780 — 1,774 407 801 — 1,208 Financial institution instruments 600 731 — 1,331 171 381 — 552 Government debt 341 121 — 462 79 48 — 127 Other long-term assets: Derivative assets — 194 68 262 — 30 10 40 Loans receivable — 308 — 308 — 342 — 342 Total assets measured and recorded at fair value 13,168 13,657 148 26,973 19,145 13,388 129 32,662 Liabilities Other accrued liabilities: Derivative liabilities — 345 — 345 2 210 — 212 Other long-term liabilities: Derivative liabilities — 19 — 19 — 33 — 33 Total liabilities measured and recorded at fair value $ — $ 364 $ — $ 364 $ 2 $ 243 $ — $ 245 Government debt includes instruments such as non-U.S. government bonds and U.S. agency securities. Financial institution instruments include instruments issued or managed by financial institutions in various forms such as commercial paper, fixed and floating rate bonds, money market fund deposits, and time deposits. During the first six months of 2016 , we transferred corporate debt, government debt, and financial institution instruments, of approximately $571 million from Level 1 to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and approximately $628 million of corporate debt and financial institution instruments from Level 2 to Level 1 ( $1.1 billion of corporate debt, government debt, and financial institution instruments from Level 1 to Level 2 and $428 million from Level 2 to Level 1 during the first six months of 2015 ). These transfers were based on changes in market activity for the underlying instruments. Our policy is to reflect transfers between the fair value hierarchy levels at the beginning of the period. Investments in Debt Instruments Debt instruments reflected in the preceding table include investments such as asset-backed securities, corporate debt, financial institution instruments, government debt, and reverse repurchase agreements classified as cash equivalents. We classify our debt instruments as Level 2 when we use observable market prices for identical instruments that are traded in less active markets. When observable market prices for identical instruments are not available, we price the debt instruments using our own models, such as a discounted cash flow model, or non-binding market consensus prices based on the proprietary valuation models of pricing providers or brokers. These valuation models incorporate a number of inputs, including non-binding and binding broker quotes; observable market prices for identical or similar instruments; and the internal assumptions of pricing providers or brokers that use observable market inputs and unobservable market inputs that we consider to be not significant. When we use non-binding market consensus prices, we corroborate them with quoted market prices for similar instruments or compare them to output from internally-developed pricing models such as a discounted cash flow model. The discounted cash flow model uses observable market inputs, such as LIBOR-based yield curves, currency spot and forward rates, and credit ratings. All significant inputs are derived from or corroborated with observable market data. The fair values of debt instruments classified as Level 3 are generally derived from discounted cash flow models, performed either by us or our pricing providers, using inputs that we are unable to corroborate with observable market data. We monitor and review the inputs and results of these valuation models to help ensure the fair value measurements are reasonable and consistent with market experience in similar asset classes. Fair Value Option for Loans Receivable We elected the fair value option for loans receivable when the interest rate or currency exchange rate risk was hedged at inception with a related derivative instrument. As of July 2, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , the fair value of our loans receivable for which we elected the fair value option did not significantly differ from the contractual principal balance based on the contractual currency. Loans receivable are classified within other current assets and other long-term assets. Fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model, with all significant inputs derived from or corroborated with observable market data. Gains and losses from changes in fair value on the loans receivable and related derivative instruments, as well as interest income, are recorded in interest and other, net. During all periods presented, changes in the fair value of our loans receivable were largely offset by gains or losses on the related derivative instruments, resulting in an insignificant net impact on our consolidated condensed statements of income. Gains and losses attributable to changes in credit risk are determined using observable credit default spreads for the issuer or comparable companies; these gains and losses were insignificant during all periods presented. We did not elect the fair value option for loans receivable when the interest rate or currency exchange rate risk was not hedged at inception with a related derivative instrument. Loans receivable not measured and recorded at fair value are included in the following "Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis" section. Assets Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis Our non-marketable equity investments, marketable equity method investments, and non-financial assets, such as intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, are recorded at fair value only if an impairment is recognized. Some of our non-marketable equity investments have been measured and recorded at fair value due to events or circumstances that significantly impacted the fair value of those investments, resulting in other-than-temporary impairments. We classified these investments as Level 3 because the valuations used unobservable inputs that were significant to the fair value measurements and required management judgment due to the absence of quoted market prices. Impairments recognized on non-marketable equity investments held as of July 2, 2016 were $57 million during the second quarter of 2016 and $84 million during the first six months of 2016 ( $41 million during the second quarter of 2015 and $79 million during the first six months of 2015 on non-marketable equity investments held as of June 27, 2015 ). Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis On a quarterly basis, we measure the fair value of our grants receivable, cost method loans receivable, non-marketable cost method investments, reverse repurchase agreements with original maturities greater than approximately three months, and indebtedness carried at amortized cost net of applicable hedge adjustments; however, the assets are recorded at fair value only when an impairment is recognized. The carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis at the end of each period were as follows: July 2, 2016 (In Millions) Carrying Amount Fair Value Measured Using Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Grants receivable $ 570 $ — $ 573 $ — $ 573 Loans receivable $ 315 $ — $ 315 $ — $ 315 Non-marketable cost method investments $ 3,092 $ — $ — $ 3,916 $ 3,916 Reverse repurchase agreements $ 350 $ — $ 350 $ — $ 350 Short-term debt $ 4,545 $ 2,009 $ 3,141 $ — $ 5,150 Long-term debt $ 24,053 $ 14,897 $ 11,296 $ — $ 26,193 December 26, 2015 (In Millions) Carrying Amount Fair Value Measured Using Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Grants receivable $ 593 $ — $ 600 $ — $ 600 Loans receivable $ 315 $ — $ 315 $ — $ 315 Non-marketable cost method investments $ 2,933 $ — $ — $ 3,904 $ 3,904 Reverse repurchase agreements $ 1,000 $ — $ 1,000 $ — $ 1,000 Short-term debt $ 2,593 $ 1,513 $ 1,563 $ — $ 3,076 Long-term debt $ 20,036 $ 14,058 $ 6,835 $ — $ 20,893 NVIDIA Corporation cross-license agreement liability $ 199 $ — $ 200 $ — $ 200 The fair value of our grants receivable is determined using a discounted cash flow model, which discounts future cash flows using an appropriate yield curve. As of July 2, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , the carrying amount of our grants receivable was classified within other current assets and other long-term assets, as applicable. The carrying amount and fair value of loans receivable exclude loans measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of our loans receivable and reverse repurchase agreements, including those held at fair value, is determined using a discounted cash flow model. All significant inputs in the models are derived from or corroborated with observable market data, such as LIBOR-based yield curves, currency spot and forward rates, and credit ratings. The credit quality of these assets remains high, with credit ratings of A/A2 or better for substantially all of our loans receivable and reverse repurchase agreements as of July 2, 2016 . As of July 2, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , the unrealized loss position of our non-marketable cost method investments was insignificant . Our non-marketable cost method investments are valued using a qualitative and quantitative analysis of events or circumstances that impact the fair value of the investment. Qualitative analysis of our investments involves understanding our investee’s revenue and earnings trends relative to pre-defined milestones and overall business prospects; the technological feasibility of our investee’s products and technologies; the general market conditions in the investee’s industry or geographic area, including adverse regulatory or economic changes; and the management and governance structure of the investee. Quantitative assessments of the fair value of our investments are developed using the market and income approaches. The market approach includes the use of financial metrics and ratios of comparable companies, such as revenue, earnings, comparable performance multiples, recent financing rounds, the terms of the investees’ issued interests, and the level of marketability of the investments. The selection of comparable companies requires management judgment and is based on a number of factors, including comparable companies’ sizes, growth rates, industries, and development stages. The income approach includes the use of a discounted cash flow model, which requires significant estimates regarding investees’ revenue, costs, and discount rates based on the risk profile of comparable companies. Estimates of revenue and costs are developed using available market, historical, and forecast data. We measure the fair value of our non-marketable cost method investments as close to the end of the period as feasible. The carrying amount and fair value of short-term debt exclude drafts payable. Our short-term debt recognized at amortized cost includes our 2009 junior subordinated convertible debentures due 2039 (2009 debentures), our 2011 senior notes due 2016, our acquired Altera senior notes due 2017, and any commercial paper outstanding. During the second quarter of 2016 , the 2009 debentures were classified as short-term debt on the consolidated condensed balance sheets and convertible at the option of the holder during the third quarter of 2016 . For further information, see " Note 14: Borrowings " and the "Borrowings" note in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2015 . Our long-term debt recognized at amortized cost is composed of our senior notes and our convertible debentures. The fair value of our senior notes is classified as Level 1 when we use quoted prices in active markets and Level 2 when the quoted prices are from less active markets or when other observable inputs are used to determine fair value. The fair value of our 2009 and 2005 convertible debentures is determined using discounted cash flow models with observable market inputs, and takes into consideration variables such as interest rate changes, comparable instruments, subordination discount, and credit-rating changes; it is, therefore, classified as Level 2.

Financial institution instruments include instruments issued or managed by financial institutions in various forms such as commercial paper, fixed and floating rate bonds, money market fund deposits, and time deposits. Substantially all time deposits were issued by institutions outside the U.S. as of July 2, 2016 and December 26, 2015 . For information on the unrealized holding gains (losses) on available-for-sale investments reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into the consolidated condensed statements of income, see " Note 21: Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) ." During the second quarter of 2016 , we sold available-for-sale investments for proceeds of $875 million , none of which related to sales of cash and cash equivalents ( $66 million in the second quarter of 2015 , none of which was related to sales of cash and cash equivalents). During the first six months of 2016 , we sold available-for-sale investments for proceeds of $3.8 billion , of which $ 129 million related to sales of cash and cash equivalents ( $109 million in the first six months of 2015 , none of which was related to sales of cash and cash equivalents). The gross realized gains on sales of available-for-sale investments were $403 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $497 million in the first six months of 2016 ( $43 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $85 million in the first six months of 2015 ). The amortized cost and fair value of available-for-sale debt investments, by contractual maturity, as of July 2, 2016 , were as follows: (In Millions) Cost Fair Value Due in 1 year or less $ 5,960 $ 5,954 Due in 1–2 years 2,069 2,073 Due in 2–5 years 1,487 1,493 Instruments not due at a single maturity date 207 207 Total $ 9,723 $ 9,727 Equity Method Investments IM Flash Technologies, LLC Since the inception of IM Flash Technologies, LLC (IMFT) in 2006, Micron Technology, Inc. (Micron) and Intel have jointly developed NAND flash memory and, most recently, 3D XPoint™ technology products. Intel also purchases jointly developed products directly from Micron under certain supply agreements. The IMFT operating agreement, most recently amended in January 2016, continues through 2024 unless earlier terminated under certain terms and conditions and provides for certain buy-sell rights of the joint venture. Intel has the right to cause Micron to buy our interest in IMFT. If we exercise this right, Micron would set the closing date of the transaction within two years following such election and could elect to receive financing from us for one to two years. Subsequent to our put right, and commencing in January 2019, Micron has the right to call our interest in IMFT with the closing date to be effective within one year. As of July 2, 2016 , we own a 49% interest in IMFT. The carrying value of our investment was $870 million as of July 2, 2016 ( $872 million as of December 26, 2015 ) and is classified within other long-term assets. IMFT is a variable interest entity and all costs of IMFT are passed on to Micron and Intel through sale of products or services in proportional share of ownership. Intel's portion of IMFT costs, primarily related to product purchases and production-related services, was approximately $100 million in the second quarter of 2016 and approximately $200 million in the first six months of 2016 (approximately $105 million in the second quarter of 2015 and approximately $200 million in the first six months of 2015 ). The amount due to IMFT for product purchases and services provided was approximately $45 million as of July 2, 2016 (approximately $20 million as of December 26, 2015 ). IMFT depends on Micron and Intel for any additional cash needs. Our known maximum exposure to loss approximated the carrying value of our investment balance in IMFT, which was $870 million as of July 2, 2016 . Except for the amount due to IMFT for product purchases and production-related services, we did not have any additional liabilities recognized on our consolidated condensed balance sheets in connection with our interests in this joint venture as of July 2, 2016 . Our potential future losses could be higher than the carrying amount of our investment, as Intel and Micron are liable for other future operating costs or obligations of IMFT. Future cash calls could also increase our investment balance and the related exposure to loss. In addition, because we are currently committed to purchasing 49% of IMFT’s production output and production-related services, we may be required to purchase products at a cost in excess of realizable value. We have determined that we do not have the characteristics of a consolidating investor in the variable interest entity and, therefore, we account for our interest in IMFT using the equity method of accounting. Cloudera, Inc. During 2014, we invested in Cloudera, Inc. (Cloudera). Our fully diluted ownership interest in Cloudera is 17% as of July 2, 2016 . Our investment is accounted for under the equity and cost methods of accounting based on the rights associated with different instruments we own, and is classified within other long-term assets. The carrying value of our equity method investment was $241 million and of our cost method investment was $454 million as of July 2, 2016 ( $256 million for our equity method investment and $454 million for our cost method investment as of December 26, 2015 ). Intel-GE Care Innovations, LLC During the first quarter of 2016, we gained control of Care Innovations LLC (Care Innovations), formerly our joint venture with General Electric Company. Care Innovations has been included in our consolidated condensed financial statements beginning in the first quarter of 2016. Non-marketable Cost Method Investments Investment in Beijing UniSpreadtrum Technology Ltd. During 2014, we entered into a series of agreements with Tsinghua Unigroup Ltd. (Tsinghua Unigroup), an operating subsidiary of Tsinghua Holdings Co. Ltd., to, among other things, jointly develop Intel ® architecture- and communications-based solutions for phones. We agreed to invest up to 9.0 billion Chinese yuan (approximately $1.5 billion as of the date of the agreement) for a minority stake of approximately 20% of Beijing UniSpreadtrum Technology Ltd., a holding company under Tsinghua Unigroup. During 2015, we invested $966 million to complete the first phase of the equity investment. We have determined we do not have significant influence over the company and, therefore, we account for our interest using the cost method of accounting. Subject to regulatory approvals and other closing conditions, the second phase of the investment will require additional funding of approximately $ 500 million . Trading Assets As of July 2, 2016 and December 26, 2015 , substantially all of our trading assets were marketable debt instruments. There were no net gains or losses related to trading assets still held at the reporting date in the second quarter of 2016 and $190 million net gains in the first six months of 2016 (net gains of $48 million in the second quarter of 2015 and net losses of $85 million in the first six months of 2015 ). Net gains on the related derivatives were $3 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $184 million net losses in the first six months of 2016 (net losses of $45 million in the second quarter of 2015 and net gains of $81 million in the first six months of 2015 ).

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments [Text Block]	Note 7: Derivative Financial Instruments Our primary objective for holding derivative financial instruments is to manage currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk, and, to a lesser extent, equity market risk, commodity price risk, and credit risk. When possible, we enter into master netting arrangements with counterparties to mitigate credit risk in derivative transactions. A master netting arrangement may allow counterparties to net settle amounts owed to each other as a result of multiple, separate derivative transactions. Generally, our master netting agreements allow for net settlement in case of certain triggering events such as bankruptcy or default of one of the counterparties to the transaction. We may also elect to exchange cash collateral with certain of our counterparties on a regular basis. For presentation on our consolidated condensed balance sheets, we do not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments under master netting arrangements. Our derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value and are included in other current assets, other long-term assets, other accrued liabilities, or other long-term liabilities. Currency Exchange Rate Risk We are exposed to currency exchange rate risk, and generally hedge our exposures with currency forward contracts, currency interest rate swaps, or currency options. Substantially all of our revenue is transacted in U.S. dollars. However, a significant portion of our operating expenditures and capital purchases is incurred in or exposed to other currencies, primarily the euro, the Japanese yen, the Israeli shekel, and the Chinese yuan . We have established balance sheet and forecasted transaction currency risk management programs to protect against fluctuations in the fair value and the volatility of the functional currency equivalent of future cash flows caused by changes in exchange rates. Our non-U.S.-dollar-denominated investments in debt instruments, loans receivable and indebtedness are generally hedged with offsetting currency forward contracts or currency interest rate swaps. We may also hedge currency risk arising from funding foreign currency denominated forecasted investments. These programs reduce, but do not eliminate, the impact of currency exchange movements. Our currency risk management programs include: • Currency derivatives with cash flow hedge accounting designation that utilize currency forward contracts and currency options to hedge exposures to the variability in the U.S.-dollar equivalent of anticipated non-U.S.-dollar-denominated cash flows. The substantial majority of these instruments mature within 12 months . For these derivatives, we report the after-tax gain or loss from the effective portion of the hedge as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and we reclassify it into earnings in the same period or periods in which the hedged transaction affects earnings, and in the same line item on the consolidated condensed statements of income as the impact of the hedged transaction. We utilize currency interest rate swaps to hedge exposures to the variability in the U.S.-dollar equivalent of coupon and principal payments associated with our non-U.S.-dollar-denominated indebtedness . • Currency derivatives without hedge accounting designation that utilize currency forward contracts or currency interest rate swaps to economically hedge the functional currency equivalent cash flows of recognized monetary assets and liabilities, non-U.S.-dollar-denominated debt instruments classified as trading assets, and non-U.S.-dollar-denominated loans receivable recognized at fair value. The substantial majority of these instruments mature within 12 months . Changes in the functional currency equivalent cash flows of the underlying assets and liabilities are approximately offset by the changes in the fair value of the related derivatives. We record net gains or losses in the line item on the consolidated condensed statements of income most closely associated with the related exposures, primarily in interest and other, net, except for equity-related gains or losses, which we primarily record in gains (losses) on equity investments, net. Interest Rate Risk Our primary objective for holding investments in debt instruments is to preserve principal while maximizing yields. We generally swap the returns on our investments in fixed-rate debt instruments with remaining maturities longer than six months into U.S. dollar three-month LIBOR-based returns, unless management specifically approves otherwise. We may elect to swap fixed coupon payments on our debt issuances for floating rate coupon payments. These swaps are settled at various interest payment times involving cash payments at each interest and principal payment date, with the majority of the contracts having quarterly payments. We also utilize interest rate or currency interest rate swaps to modify cash flows related to our existing indebtedness. We may enter into treasury rate lock agreements to lock in a fixed rate for future debt issuances. Our interest rate risk management programs include: • Interest rate derivatives with cash flow hedge accounting designation that utilize interest rate swap agreements to modify the interest characteristics of debt instruments or treasury rate lock agreements to lock in a fixed rate for future debt issuances. For these derivatives, we report the after-tax gain or loss from the effective portion of the hedge as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and we reclassify it into earnings in the same period or periods in which the hedged transaction affects earnings, and in the same line item on the consolidated condensed statements of income as the impact of the hedged transaction. • Interest rate derivatives with fair value hedge accounting designation that utilize interest rate swap agreements to hedge against changes in fair value on certain fixed rate debt due to fluctuations in the benchmark interest rate. For these derivatives, we recognize gains and losses in interest and other, net, along with the offsetting gains and losses attributable to the changes in the benchmark interest rate on the underlying hedged items. • Interest rate derivatives without hedge accounting designation that utilize interest rate swaps and currency interest rate swaps in economic hedging transactions, including hedges of non-U.S.-dollar-denominated debt instruments classified as trading assets and hedges of non-U.S.-dollar-denominated loans receivable recognized at fair value. Floating interest rates on the swaps generally reset on a quarterly basis. Changes in the fair value of the debt instruments classified as trading assets and loans receivable recognized at fair value are generally offset by changes in the fair value of the related derivatives, both of which are recorded in interest and other, net. Equity Market Risk Our investments include marketable equity securities and equity derivative instruments. We typically do not attempt to reduce or eliminate our equity market exposure through hedging activities at the inception of our investments. Before we enter into hedge arrangements, we evaluate legal, market, and economic factors, as well as the expected timing of disposal to determine whether hedging is appropriate. Our equity market risk management program may include equity derivatives with or without hedge accounting designation that utilize warrants, equity options, or other equity derivatives. We recognize changes in the fair value of such derivatives in gains (losses) on equity investments, net. We also utilize total return swaps to offset changes in liabilities related to the equity market risks of certain deferred compensation arrangements. Gains and losses from changes in fair value of these total return swaps are generally offset by the losses and gains on the related liabilities , both of which are recorded in cost of sales and operating expenses.

Acquisitions [Abstract]
Acquisitions [Text Block]	Note 8: Acquisitions Altera Corporation On December 28, 2015, we completed the acquisition of Altera, a global semiconductor company that designs and sells programmable semiconductors and related products. We acquired all outstanding shares of Altera common stock and, subject to certain exceptions, each share of Altera common stock underlying vested stock option awards, restricted stock unit awards (RSUs) and performance-based restricted stock unit awards in exchange for cash. The acquired company operates as the Programmable Solutions Group (PSG) and continues to design and sell programmable logic devices (PLDs), which incorporate field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs), and highly integrated System-on-Chip (SoC) devices. This acquisition is expected to expand our reach within the compute continuum, as the combination of our leading-edge products and manufacturing process with Altera's leading FPGA technology is expected to enable new classes of platforms that meet customer needs in the data center and Internet of Things market segments. As we develop future platforms, the integration of PLDs into our platform solutions is expected to improve the overall performance and lower the cost of ownership for our customers. For further information, see " Note 23: Operating Segments Information ." Total consideration to acquire Altera was $14.5 billion (net of $2.0 billion of cash and cash equivalents acquired) and comprised the following: (In Millions) Cash, net of cash acquired $ 14,401 Share-based awards assumed 50 Total $ 14,451 The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by major class in the acquisition of Altera were recognized as follows: (In Millions) Short-term investments $ 182 Receivables 368 Inventory 555 Other current assets 123 Property, plant & equipment 312 Goodwill 5,433 Identified intangible assets 7,566 Other long-term investments and assets 2,495 Deferred income (336 ) Other liabilities (263 ) Long-term debt (1,535 ) Deferred tax liabilities (449 ) Total $ 14,451 The allocation of purchase consideration to assets and liabilities is not yet finalized. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based upon estimates and assumptions that are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized are certain tax matters, identification of contingencies, and goodwill. The preliminary goodwill of $5.4 billion arising from the acquisition is attributed to the expected synergies and other benefits that will be generated by combining Intel and Altera. Substantially all of the goodwill recognized is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. For further information on the assignment of preliminary goodwill for the acquisition, see “ Note 9: Goodwill .” The identified intangible assets assumed in the acquisition of Altera were recognized as follows based upon their fair values as of December 28, 2015: Fair Value (In Millions) Weighted Average Estimated Useful Life (In Years) Developed technology $ 5,757 9 Customer relationships 1,121 12 Brands 87 6 Identified intangible assets subject to amortization 6,965 In-process research and development 601 Identified intangible assets not subject to amortization 601 Total identified intangible assets $ 7,566 Acquired developed technology represents the fair value of Altera products that have reached technological feasibility and are a part of Altera’s product offerings, as opposed to in-process research and development which represents the fair value of products that have not reached technological feasibility. Customer relationships represent the fair values of the underlying relationships and agreements with Altera’s customers. Brands represent the fair value of Altera's master brand and product brand names. Other 2016 Acquisitions During the first six months of 2016 , in addition to the Altera acquisition, we completed five acquisitions qualifying as business combinations in exchange for aggregate consideration (net of cash acquired) of $230 million , most of which was cash . Substantially all of the consideration was allocated to goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. For information on goodwill by operating segment, see “ Note 9: Goodwill ” and for information on the classification of intangible assets, see " Note 10: Identified Intangible Assets ." These acquisitions, both individually and in aggregate, were not significant to our operations. Actual and Pro Forma Results of Acquirees Net revenue and net income attributable to all acquisitions completed during the first six months of 2016 have been included in our consolidated condensed statements of income from their respective acquisition dates to the period ending July 2, 2016 . The Altera acquisition was significant to our consolidated condensed results of operations, and these results are reported as the Programmable Solutions Group in " Note 23: Operating Segments Information ." The unaudited pro forma financial results combine the historical results of Intel and Altera for 2016 and 2015 along with the historical results of other businesses acquired during 2016. The results include the effects of pro forma adjustments as if the businesses acquired in 2016 were acquired at the beginning of Intel's 2015 fiscal year. The pro forma results for the three months ended June 27, 2015 include a non-recurring inventory valuation adjustment of $161 million . The pro forma results for the six months ended June 27, 2015 include non-recurring adjustments of $387 million for the inventory valuation adjustment, $64 million for deferred income (net of the impact of cost of goods sold) and $94 million for other acquisition-related transaction costs, all of which reduce pro forma net income. The pro forma financial results presented below do not include any anticipated synergies or other expected benefits of the acquisitions. This is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of future operations or results that would have been achieved had the acquisitions been completed as of the beginning of our 2015 fiscal year.

The goodwill recognized from this acquisition was allocated among PSG, DCG, and IOTG based on the relative fair value provided by the acquisition, which reflected the estimated synergistic value generated within DCG and IOTG by incorporating Altera's intellectual property into Intel's future process technology and products. For further information, see " Note 8: Acquisitions ." We previously disclosed the goodwill for ISecG and SSG as part of the aggregated software and services operating segments. During the first quarter of 2016, we elected to separately disclose the results of ISecG and determined SSG was no longer an operating segment; accordingly, its goodwill was re-allocated to other operating segments based on the relative fair value. Additionally, we formed the New Technology Group (NTG), which includes products designed for wearables, cameras, drones, and other market segments. The substantial majority of goodwill under "all other" is attributable to NTG, the remainder of which is unallocated from recent acquisitions in the first quarter of 2016.

Under this program, we are in the process of closing certain facilities and reducing headcount globally to align our operations with evolving business needs and improve efficiencies. We expect these actions to be substantially completed by the second quarter of 2017.

Substantially all of the accrued restructuring balance as of July 2, 2016 is expected to be paid within the next 12 months and was recorded as a current liability within accrued compensation and benefits on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. The remaining accruals were recorded as an increase to our pension liability and are not included in our accrued restructuring balance. The program is on track to meet our previously announced goal of a net reduction of approximately 12,000 positions globally. 2013 and 2015 Restructuring Programs We had no restructuring and other charges associated with our 2013 and 2015 Restructuring Programs in the first six months of 2016 due to the completion of these programs in 2015. As of July 2, 2016 , the remaining liability associated with both programs is $28 million ( $70 million as of December 26, 2015 ). A majority of this liability is expected to be paid within the next 12 months and was recorded as a current liability.

Maximum borrowings under our commercial paper program in the first six months of 2016 were $3.0 billion ( $900 million in the first six months 2015 ). We had $1.4 billion outstanding commercial paper as of July 2, 2016 ( none outstanding as of December 26, 2015 ). Our commercial paper was rated A-1+ by Standard & Poor’s and P-1 by Moody’s as of July 2, 2016 . On December 21, 2015, we entered into a short-term credit facility to borrow up to $5.0 billion in order to facilitate the settlement of our acquisition of Altera. Under this credit facility, we borrowed $4.0 billion and the facility was closed in January 2016. 2009 Debentures The 2009 debentures are convertible, subject to certain conditions. Holders can surrender the 2009 debentures for conversion if the closing price of Intel common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading-day period ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter. During the second quarter of 2016 , the closing stock price conversion right condition of the 2009 debentures continued to be met and the debentures will be convertible at the option of the holders during the third quarter of 2016 . As a result, the $1.1 billion carrying amount of the 2009 debentures was classified as short-term debt on our consolidated condensed balance sheet as of July 2, 2016 ( $1.1 billion as of December 26, 2015 ). The excess of the amount of cash payable if converted over the carrying amount of the 2009 debentures of $890 million has been classified as temporary equity on our consolidated condensed balance sheet as of July 2, 2016 ( $897 million as of December 26, 2015 ). In future periods, if the closing stock price conversion right condition is no longer met, all outstanding 2009 debentures would be reclassified to long-term debt and the temporary equity would be reclassified to stockholders’ equity on our consolidated condensed balance sheet. Long-Term Debt Our indebtedness is carried at amortized cost net of applicable hedge adjustments.

For further discussion on our currency interest rate swaps, see " Note 7: Derivative Financial Instruments ." During the second quarter of 2016 we issued a total of $2.8 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes to refinance existing indebtedness, including our 1.95% senior notes due 2016 and a portion of our 1.35% senior notes due 2017 . During the first quarter of 2016, in connection with our completed acquisition of Altera, we acquired a total of $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes. All of our senior notes pay a fixed rate of interest semiannually. We may redeem the notes prior to their maturity at our option at specified redemption prices and subject to certain restrictions. The obligations under the notes rank equally in right of payment with all of our other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and will effectively rank junior to all liabilities of our subsidiaries.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 15: Retirement Benefit Plans Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans For eligible employees, former employees, and retirees, we provide various defined-benefit pension benefits and postretirement medical benefits. In conjunction with our 2016 Restructuring Program, our U.S. Minimum Pension Plan and U.S. Postretirement Medical Benefit Plan assets and liabilities were remeasured during the second quarter of 2016. For more information on the 2016 Restructuring Program, please see " Note 12: Restructuring and Other Charges ". The remeasurements of the plans resulted in an increase to the plan benefit obligations for the U.S. Minimum Pension Plan and the U.S. Postretirement Medical Benefit Plan of approximately $450 million and $90 million , respectively. The increases primarily resulted from updated demographic experience and a decrease in discount rates. Curtailment charges were not significant in the quarter the plans were remeasured. For further information, see the "Retirement Benefit Plans" note in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2015 .

Employee Benefits and Share-based Compensation [Abstract]
Employee Equity Incentive Plans [Text Block]	Note 16: Employee Equity Incentive Plans Our equity incentive plans are broad-based, long-term programs intended to attract and retain talented employees and align stockholder and employee interests. In connection with our completed acquisition of Altera in the first quarter of 2016, we assumed two equity incentive plans with outstanding unvested stock options and RSUs. The assumed stock options and RSUs generally retained the terms and conditions under which they were originally granted. We will not grant additional shares under these assumed plans. As of July 2, 2016 , 215 million shares of common stock remained available for future grant under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan through June 2018. The 2006 Stock Purchase Plan allows eligible employees to purchase shares of our common stock at 85% of the value of our common stock on specific dates. Rights to purchase shares of common stock are granted during the first and third quarters of each year. As of July 2, 2016 , 172 million shares of common stock remained available for issuance under the 2006 Stock Purchase Plan through August 2021. Share-Based Compensation Share-based compensation expense recognized was $364 million in the second quarter of 2016 and $812 million in the first six months of 2016 ( $332 million in the second quarter of 2015 and $700 million in the first six months of 2015 ). Restricted Stock Unit Awards We estimate the fair value of RSU awards with time-based vesting using the value of our common stock on the date of grant, reduced by the present value of dividends expected to be paid on our shares of common stock prior to vesting. We estimate the fair value of market-based restricted stock units, referred to in our 2016 Proxy Statement as outperformance restricted stock units (OSUs), using a Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of grant. We based the weighted average estimated value of RSU grants, as well as the weighted average assumptions that we used in calculating the fair value, on estimates at the date of grant, for each period as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended Jul 2, Jun 27, Jul 2, Jun 27, Estimated values $ 28.98 $ 30.33 $ 29.56 $ 31.76 Risk-free interest rate 0.8 % 0.6 % 0.9 % 0.6 % Dividend yield 3.3 % 2.9 % 3.3 % 2.9 % Volatility 25 % n/a 23 % 27 % Restricted stock unit activity in the first six months of 2016 was as follows: Number of RSUs (In Millions) Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value December 26, 2015 107.4 $ 26.93 Granted 49.7 $ 29.56 Assumed in acquisition 7.3 $ 33.79 Vested (43.7 ) $ 26.06 Forfeited (6.7 ) $ 27.96 July 2, 2016 114.0 $ 28.79 The aggregate fair value of awards that vested in the first six months of 2016 was $1.4 billion , which represents the market value of our common stock on the date that the RSUs vested. The grant-date fair value of awards that vested in first six months of 2016 was $1.1 billion . The number of RSUs vested includes shares of common stock that we withheld on behalf of employees to satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding requirements. RSUs that are expected to vest are net of estimated future forfeitures. As of July 2, 2016 , 6.8 million of the outstanding RSUs were OSUs. We granted 0.1 million OSUs in the three months ended July 2, 2016 and 3.5 million in the six months ended July 2, 2016 . Stock Purchase Plan Employees purchased 9.2 million shares of common stock in the first six months of 2016 for $227 million ( 8.1 million shares of common stock in the first six months of 2015 for $234 million ) under the 2006 Stock Purchase Plan.

Common Stock Repurchases [Abstract]
Common Stock Repurchases [Text Block]	Note 17: Common Stock Repurchases Common Stock Repurchase Program We have an ongoing authorization, originally approved by our Board of Directors in 2005, and subsequently amended, to repurchase up to $65.0 billion in shares of our common stock in open market or negotiated transactions. As of July 2, 2016 , $7.8 billion remained available for repurchase under the existing repurchase authorization limit. During the second quarter of 2016 , we repurchased 26.0 million shares of common stock at a cost of $799 million ( 23.6 million shares of common stock at a cost of $750 million during the second quarter of 2015 ). During the first six months of 2016 , we repurchased 52.8 million shares of common stock at a cost of $1.6 billion ( 44.9 million shares of common stock at a cost of $1.5 billion in the first six months of 2015 ). We have repurchased 4.8 billion shares of common stock at a cost of $106.5 billion since the program began in 1990. Restricted Stock Unit Withholdings We issue RSUs as part of our equity incentive plans. For the majority of RSUs granted, the number of shares of common stock issued on the date the RSUs vest is net of the minimum statutory withholding requirements that we pay in cash to the appropriate taxing authorities on behalf of our employees. In our consolidated condensed financial statements, we treat shares of common stock withheld for tax purposes on behalf of our employees in connection with the vesting of RSUs as common stock repurchases because they reduce the number of shares that would have been issued upon vesting. These withheld shares of common stock are not considered common stock repurchases under our authorized common stock repurchase plan . During the first six months of 2016 , we withheld 12.7 million shares of common stock to satisfy $394 million ( 12.2 million shares of common stock to satisfy $399 million during the first six months of 2015 ) of employees’ tax obligations.

We recognized an interest and other, net loss in the first six months of 2016 compared to a net gain in the first six months of 2015 primarily due to higher interest expense related to our $13.8 billion aggregate principal amount of 2015 and 2016 senior notes.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share [Text Block]	Note 20: Earnings Per Share We computed our basic and diluted earnings per common share for each period as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (In Millions, Except Per Share Amounts) Jul 2, Jun 27, Jul 2, Jun 27, Net income available to common stockholders $ 1,330 $ 2,706 $ 3,376 $ 4,698 Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding—basic 4,729 4,759 4,725 4,750 Dilutive effect of employee equity incentive plans 49 62 57 72 Dilutive effect of convertible debt 88 88 88 90 Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding—diluted 4,866 4,909 4,870 4,912 Basic earnings per share of common stock $ 0.28 $ 0.57 $ 0.71 $ 0.99 Diluted earnings per share of common stock $ 0.27 $ 0.55 $ 0.69 $ 0.96 We computed basic earnings per share of common stock using net income available to common stockholders and the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We computed diluted earnings per share of common stock using net income available to common stockholders and the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Net income available to participating securities was insignificant for all periods presented. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock from employee incentive plans are determined by applying the treasury stock method to the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options, the assumed vesting of outstanding RSUs, and the assumed issuance of common stock under the stock purchase plan. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock for our 2005 debentures are determined by applying the if-converted method. However, as our 2009 debentures require settlement of the principal amount of the debt in cash upon conversion, with the conversion premium paid in cash or stock at our option, potentially dilutive shares of common stock are determined by applying the treasury stock method. Stock options and RSUs could potentially be included in the diluted earnings per share of common stock calculation in the future if the average market value of the shares of common stock increases and is greater than the exercise price of these options. During the second quarter of 2016 , we excluded on average 1 million outstanding stock options and RSUs from the computation of diluted earnings per common share because these would have been antidilutive ( 1 million for the second quarter of 2015 ). During the first six months of 2016 , no outstanding stock options and RSUs were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share of common stock ( 2 million for the first six months of 2015 because these shares of common stock would have been antidilutive). In the second quarter of 2016 and 2015 , we included our 2009 debentures in the calculation of diluted earnings per share of common stock because the average market price was above the conversion price. We could potentially exclude the 2009 debentures in the future if the average market price is below the conversion price.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) [Text Block]	Note 21: Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) The changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component and related tax effects in the first six months of 2016 were as follows: (In Millions) Unrealized Holding Gains (Losses) on Available-for-Sale Investments Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance Unrealized Holding Gains (Losses) on Derivatives Prior Service Credits (Costs) Actuarial Gains (Losses) Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Total December 26, 2015 $ 1,749 $ 8 $ (266 ) $ (40 ) $ (876 ) $ (515 ) $ 60 Other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications 402 — 282 — (508 ) 1 177 Amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (488 ) — 35 4 26 — (423 ) Tax effects 31 (3 ) (104 ) (1 ) 183 — 106 Other comprehensive income (loss) (55 ) (3 ) 213 3 (299 ) 1 (140 ) July 2, 2016 $ 1,694 $ 5 $ (53 ) $ (37 ) $ (1,175 ) $ (514 ) $ (80 ) The amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into the consolidated condensed statements of income, with presentation location, for each period were as follows: Income Before Taxes Impact Three Months Ended Six Months Ended Comprehensive Income Components Jul 2, Jun 27, Jul 2, Jun 27, Location Unrealized holding gains (losses) 1 on available-for-sale investments: $ 402 $ 20 $ 488 $ 74 Gains (losses) on equity investments, net 1 — — — Interest and other, net 403 20 488 74 Unrealized holding gains (losses) on derivatives: Currency forwards (17 ) (93 ) (59 ) (136 ) Cost of sales 7 (48 ) (3 ) (95 ) Research and development 3 (13 ) (1 ) (22 ) Marketing, general and administrative 10 — 10 — Gains (losses) on equity investments, net Other instruments 1 — 1 — Gains (losses) on equity investments, net (17 ) — 17 — Interest and other, net (13 ) (154 ) (35 ) (253 ) Amortization of pension and postretirement benefit components: Prior service credits (costs) (2 ) (2 ) (4 ) (4 ) Actuarial gains (losses) (14 ) (14 ) (26 ) (28 ) (16 ) (16 ) (30 ) (32 ) Total amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) $ 374 $ (150 ) $ 423 $ (211 ) 1 We determine the cost of the investment sold based on an average cost basis at the individual security level. The amortization of pension and postretirement benefit components are included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost. For further information, see the "Retirement Benefit Plans" note in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2015 . We estimate that we will reclassify approximately $28 million (before taxes) of net derivative losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings within the next 12 months.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies [Text Block]	Note 22: Contingencies Legal Proceedings We are a party to various legal proceedings, including those noted in this section. Although management at present believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or overall trends, legal proceedings and related government investigations are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. Unfavorable resolutions could include substantial monetary damages. In addition, in matters for which injunctive relief or other conduct remedies are sought, unfavorable resolutions could include an injunction or other order prohibiting us from selling one or more products at all or in particular ways, precluding particular business practices, or requiring other remedies. An unfavorable outcome may result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position, and overall trends. We might also conclude that settling one or more such matters is in the best interests of our stockholders, employees and customers, and any such settlement could include substantial payments. Except as specifically described below, we have not concluded that settlement of any of the legal proceedings noted in this section is appropriate at this time. Government Competition Matters and Consumer Class Actions A number of proceedings generally have challenged and continue to challenge certain of our competitive practices. The allegations in these proceedings vary and are described in more detail in the following paragraphs. In general, they contend that we improperly conditioned price rebates and other discounts on our microprocessors on exclusive or near-exclusive dealing by some of our customers; and they allege that our software compiler business unfairly preferred Intel ® microprocessors over competing microprocessors and that, through the use of our compilers and other means, we have caused the dissemination of inaccurate and misleading benchmark results concerning our microprocessors. Based on the procedural posture of the various remaining competition matters, which we describe in the following paragraphs, our investment of resources to explain and defend our position has declined as compared to the period 2005-2011. Nonetheless, certain of the matters remain active, and these challenges could continue for a number of years, potentially requiring us to invest additional resources. We believe that we compete lawfully and that our marketing, business, intellectual property, and other challenged practices benefit our customers and our stockholders, and we will continue to conduct a vigorous defense in the remaining proceedings. In 2001, the European Commission (EC) commenced an investigation regarding claims by Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) that we used unfair business practices to persuade customers to buy our microprocessors. We received numerous requests for information and documents from the EC and we responded to each of those requests. The EC issued a Statement of Objections in July 2007 and held a hearing on that Statement in March 2008. The EC issued a Supplemental Statement of Objections in July 2008. In May 2009, the EC issued a decision finding that we had violated Article 82 of the EC Treaty and Article 54 of the European Economic Area Agreement. In general, the EC found that we violated Article 82 (later renumbered as Article 102 by a new treaty) by offering alleged "conditional rebates and payments" that required our customers to purchase all or most of their x86 microprocessors from us. The EC also found that we violated Article 82 by making alleged "payments to prevent sales of specific rival products." The EC imposed a fine in the amount of €1.1 billion ( $1.4 billion as of May 2009), which we subsequently paid during the third quarter of 2009, and ordered us to "immediately bring to an end the infringement referred to in" the EC decision. The EC decision contained no specific direction on whether or how we should modify our business practices. Instead, the decision stated that we should "cease and desist" from further conduct that, in the EC's opinion, would violate applicable law. We took steps, which are subject to the EC's ongoing review, to comply with that decision pending appeal. We had discussions with the EC to better understand the decision and to explain changes to our business practices. We appealed the EC decision to the Court of First Instance (which has been renamed the General Court) in July 2009. The hearing of our appeal took place in July 2012. In June 2014, the General Court rejected our appeal in its entirety. In August 2014, we filed an appeal with the European Court of Justice. In November 2014, Intervener Association for Competitive Technologies filed comments in support of Intel’s grounds of appeal. The EC and interveners filed briefs in November 2014, we filed a reply in February 2015, and the EC filed a rejoinder in April 2015. The Court of Justice held oral argument in June 2016, and we await its decision. At least 82 separate class-action lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Courts for the Northern District of California, Southern District of California, District of Idaho, District of Nebraska, District of New Mexico, District of Maine, and District of Delaware, as well as in various California, Kansas, and Tennessee state courts. These actions generally repeat the allegations made in a now-settled lawsuit filed against us by AMD in June 2005 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (AMD litigation). Like the AMD litigation, these class-action lawsuits allege that we engaged in various actions in violation of the Sherman Act and other laws by, among other things: providing discounts and rebates to our manufacturer and distributor customers conditioned on exclusive or near-exclusive dealing that allegedly unfairly interfered with AMD's ability to sell its microprocessors; interfering with certain AMD product launches; and interfering with AMD's participation in certain industry standards-setting groups. The class actions allege various consumer injuries, including that consumers in various states have been injured by paying higher prices for computers containing our microprocessors. All of the federal and state class actions other than the California class actions were transferred by the Multidistrict Litigation Panel to the U.S. District Court in Delaware for all pre-trial proceedings and discovery (MDL proceedings). The Delaware district court appointed a Special Master to address issues in the MDL proceedings, as assigned by the court. In July 2010, the Special Master denied the MDL plaintiffs' motion to certify a class of members who purchased certain personal computers containing products sold by us. In July 2014, the district court affirmed the Special Master's ruling and issued an order denying the MDL plaintiffs' motion for class certification. In August 2014, plaintiffs filed a petition for interlocutory appeal of the district court's decision with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, which the Third Circuit denied in October 2014. In December 2014, we filed a motion for summary judgment on the claims of the remaining individual plaintiffs. We subsequently negotiated a settlement of the claims and the case was dismissed in September 2015. All California class actions were consolidated in the Superior Court of California in Santa Clara County. In March 2008, the plaintiffs in the California actions moved for class certification, which we opposed. In February 2015, the court granted plaintiffs' request for leave to retain a new expert and to amend their previous motion for class certification. In March 2016, the court denied plaintiffs’ amended class certification motion, and plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration. The parties subsequently agreed to settle the case, and the lawsuit was dismissed in July 2016. Shareholder Derivative Litigation regarding In re High Tech Employee Antitrust Litigation In March 2014, the Police Retirement System of St. Louis (PRSSL) filed a shareholder derivative action in the Superior Court of California in Santa Clara County against Intel, certain current and former members of our Board of Directors, and a current officer. The complaint alleges that the defendants breached their duties to the company by participating in, or allowing, purported antitrust violations, which were alleged in a now-settled antitrust class action lawsuit captioned In re High Tech Employee Antitrust Litigation claiming that Intel, Adobe Systems Incorporated, Apple Inc., Google Inc., Intuit Inc., Lucasfilm Ltd., and Pixar conspired to suppress their employees’ compensation. In March 2014, a second plaintiff, Barbara Templeton, filed a substantially similar derivative suit in the same court. In May 2014, a third shareholder, Robert Achermann, filed a substantially similar derivative action in the same court. The court consolidated the three actions into one, which is captioned In re Intel Corporation Shareholder Derivative Litigation . Plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint in July 2014. In August 2015, the court granted our motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint. The plaintiffs thereafter filed a motion for reconsideration and a motion for new trial, both of which the court denied in October 2015. In November 2015, plaintiffs PRSSL and Templeton appealed the court's decision. In June 2015, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) filed a shareholder derivative action in the Chancery Court in Delaware against Intel, certain current and former members of our Board of Directors, and a current officer. The lawsuit makes allegations that are substantially similar to those in the California shareholder derivative litigation described above, but contain additional allegations regarding breach of the duty of disclosure surrounding the In re High Tech Employee Antitrust Litigation and that the Intel 2013 and 2014 proxy statements were false and misleading in that they misrepresented the effectiveness of the Board’s oversight of compliance issues at Intel and the Board’s compliance with Intel’s Code of Conduct and Board of Director Guidelines on Significant Corporate Governance Issues. In October 2015, the court stayed the IBEW lawsuit for six months pending further developments in the California case. In March 2016, Intel and IBEW entered into a stipulated dismissal pursuant to which IBEW dismissed its complaint but may re-file upon the withdrawal or final resolution of the appeal in the California shareholder derivative litigation. In April 2016, John Esposito filed a shareholder derivative action in the Superior Court of California in Santa Clara County against Intel, current members of our Board, and certain former officers and employees. Esposito made a demand on our Board in 2013 to investigate whether our officers or directors should be sued for their participation in the events described in In re High Tech Employee Antitrust Litigation. In November 2015, our Board decided not to take further action on Esposito’s demand based on the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board after its investigation of relevant facts and circumstances. Esposito seeks to set aside such decision, and alleges that the Board was not disinterested in making that decision and that the investigation was inadequate. McAfee, Inc. Shareholder Litigation On August 19, 2010, we announced that we had agreed to acquire all of the common stock of McAfee, Inc. (McAfee) for $48.00 per share. Four McAfee shareholders filed putative class-action lawsuits in Santa Clara County, California Superior Court challenging the proposed transaction. The cases were ordered consolidated in September 2010. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint that named former McAfee board members, McAfee and Intel as defendants, and alleged that the McAfee board members breached their fiduciary duties and that McAfee and Intel aided and abetted those breaches of duty. The complaint requested rescission of the merger agreement, such other equitable relief as the court may deem proper, and an award of damages in an unspecified amount. In June 2012, the plaintiffs’ damages expert asserted that the value of a McAfee share for the purposes of assessing damages should be $62.08 . In January 2012, the court certified the action as a class action, appointed the Central Pension Laborers’ Fund to act as the class representative, and scheduled trial to begin in January 2013. In March 2012, defendants filed a petition with the California Court of Appeal for a writ of mandate to reverse the class certification order; the petition was denied in June 2012. In March 2012, at defendants’ request, the court held that plaintiffs were not entitled to a jury trial, and ordered a bench trial. In April 2012, plaintiffs filed a petition with the California Court of Appeal for a writ of mandate to reverse that order, which the court of appeal denied in July 2012. In August 2012, defendants filed a motion for summary judgment. The trial court granted that motion in November 2012, and entered final judgment in the case in February 2013. In April 2013, plaintiffs appealed the final judgment. Intel, McAfee, and McAfee’s board of directors filed an opposition to plaintiff’s appeal in December 2014. Because the resolution of the appeal may materially impact the scope and nature of the proceeding, we are unable to make a reasonable estimate of the potential loss or range of losses, if any, arising from this matter. We dispute the class-action claims and intend to continue to defend the lawsuit vigorously.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Operating Segments Information [Text Block]	Note 23: Operating Segments Information Our operating segments in effect as of July 2, 2016 include: • Client Computing Group (CCG) • Intel Security Group (ISecG) • Data Center Group (DCG) • Programmable Solutions Group (PSG) • Internet of Things Group (IOTG) • All other • Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group (NSG) • New Technology Group (NTG) During the first quarter of 2016, we formed PSG as a result of our acquisition of Altera. For further information, see " Note 8: Acquisitions ." Additionally, we formed NTG, which includes products designed for wearables, cameras, drones, and other market segments , and determined Software and Services Group is no longer an operating segment. All prior-period amounts have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the way we internally manage and monitor segment performance starting in fiscal year 2016 and include other minor reorganizations. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is our Chief Executive Officer. The CODM allocates resources to and assesses the performance of each operating segment using information about its revenue and operating income (loss). We manage our business activities primarily based on a product segmentation basis. CCG and DCG are our reportable operating segments. IOTG, NSG, ISecG, and PSG as shown in the preceding operating segment list, do not meet the quantitative thresholds to qualify as reportable operating segments; however, we have elected to separately disclose the results of these non-reportable operating segments. Our NTG operating segment does not meet the quantitative thresholds to qualify as a reportable segment and its results are included within the “all other” category. Revenue for our reportable and non-reportable operating segments is primarily related to the following product lines: • Client Computing Group . Includes platforms designed for notebooks (including Ultrabook™ devices), 2 in 1 systems, desktops (including all-in-ones and high-end enthusiast PCs), tablets, phones, wireless and wired connectivity products, and mobile communication components. • Data Center Group. Includes platforms designed for the enterprise, cloud, communications infrastructure, and technical computing segments. • Internet of Things Group. Includes platforms designed for Internet of Things market segments, including retail, transportation, industrial, and buildings and home use, along with a broad range of other market segments. • Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group. Includes NAND flash memory products primarily used in solid-state drives. • Intel Security Group. Includes security software products designed to deliver innovative solutions that secure computers, mobile devices, and networks around the world from the latest malware and emerging online threats. • Programmable Solutions Group. Includes programmable semiconductors (primary field-programmable gate array) and related products for a broad range of market segments, including communications, networking and storage, industrial, military, and automotive. We have sales and marketing, manufacturing, engineering, finance, and administration groups. Expenses for these groups are generally allocated to the operating segments, and the expenses are included in the following operating results. The “all other” category includes revenue, expenses, and charges such as: • results of operations from NTG; • amounts included within restructuring and other charges; • a portion of profit-dependent compensation and other expenses not allocated to the operating segments; • divested businesses for which discrete operating results are not regularly reviewed by our CODM; • results of operations of start-up businesses that support our initiatives, including our foundry business; and • acquisition-related costs, including amortization and any impairment of acquisition-related intangibles and goodwill. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information. Operating segments do not record inter-segment revenue. We do not allocate gains and losses from equity investments, interest and other income, or taxes to operating segments. Although the CODM uses operating income to evaluate the segments, operating costs included in one segment may benefit other segments. Except for these differences, the accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for Intel as a whole.
