The acquisition of Altera was completed in early fiscal year 2016. As a result of the Altera acquisition, we have acquisition-related charges that are primarily non-cash. Our guidance for the fourth quarter and full-year 2016 include both GAAP and non-GAAP estimates. Reconciliations between these GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures are included below.

Restructuring and Other Charges Forecast
Total Restructuring and Other charges are now expected to be $2.3 billion, with the majority of the remaining charges to be realized between now and the middle of 2017. Approximately $1.8 billion has been realized to-date and another $250 million is expected in Q4 2016.

This is a new record for the industry and Intel’s financial results set the standard for others to try and emulate.
