Intel raised their cash dividend by 13% effective quarter 1 2008.
I had mentioned earlier they may increase their stock buy back to have a blow out Q407. This looks like an alternative route to having the same effect. Basically signalling to the market that the board believe the fundamentals are incredibly strong. Personally, I prefer stock buy backs because reducing the outstanding shares nudges up the EPS which is what many investors keep their eye on.
Dividends are great for long term investors but many tend to overlook this.

it's candy coating for fund managers. A matured tech stock doesn't really appeal so it needs to resort to such things.
