When companies are swimming in cash, they tend to bloat up easily. Especially companies as big as Intel. Once the cash starts to dwindle and they see their market share getting chipped away it's time to cut the fat. However what I do find to be a surprise is they're doing this just as their latest product has been released to rave reviews. The core-duo is set to take the market back for Intel so hopefully they don't cut so deep that they end up under staffed and unable to support their new processor.
