ITEM 1.    CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT.

         On November 18, 1999, Intel Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Parent"), through CWC Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a
wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Purchaser"), accepted for purchase
approximately 41.9 million shares of the common stock, par value $.001 per share
(the "Shares"), of DSP Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), that had been validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to
Purchaser's tender offer for all of the outstanding Shares at $36.00 per Share,
net to the seller in cash (the "Offer"). The Offer was made pursuant to an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of October 13,
1999, by and among the Company, Parent and Purchaser, which provides for, among
other things, the making of the Offer by Purchaser and, following the
consummation of the Offer, the merger of Purchaser with and into the Company.

         The Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer constitute approximately 97%
of the Shares issued and outstanding. The aggregate purchase price for the
Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer was approximately $1.5 billion.

         In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, effective upon
payment being made for the Shares, Lewis S. Broad, Andrew W. Schonzeit and
Avraham Fischer have resigned from the Board of Directors of the Company, and
Cary I. Klafter, Suzan A. Miller and Tiffany Doon Silva have been appointed to
fill the resulting vacancies. Davidi Gilo and Neill Brownstein will remain on
the Board of Directors of the Company until consummation of the Merger of
Purchaser with and into the Company, which is expected to occur on or about
November 19, 1999.

         To the knowledge of the Company, except as set forth herein, there are
no arrangements, including any pledge by any person of securities of the
Company, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a further
change in control of the Company.
