Shares of chief competitor Advanced Micro Devices (NYSE: AMD) rose on Wednesday, but don't read too much into that move: Intel's results mightn't be the hottest catalyst for it. AMD will report its own results on Thursday night, right before this month's options expiration deadline. That's plenty of kindle for fiery speculation in any stock, particularly one that's rumored to make a supposedly game-changing investment in processor developer MIPS Technologies (Nasdaq: MIPS) any day now. Intel generated $3 billion of operating cash flow this quarter -- and returned $2.5 billion directly to shareholders in the form of dividends and share buybacks. It's hard to find a more shareholder-friendly company on today's market, but not completely impossible. If Intel's dividends float your boat, you'll absolutely love these nine rock-solid payout producers as well.
