 (Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden met for the last time before the Nov. 3 election, with a debate more orderly but just as spirited as their first face-off last month. The two candidates challenged each other on their tax plans, the environment, their business interests and the pandemic. Bloomberg News is checking the facts behind their claims:Trump Claims Biden Supports Green New DealTRUMP: "This is the craziest plan. This wasn't done by smart people. This wasn't done by anybody, frankly. They want to spend $100 trillion. That is their real number: $100 trillion. They want to knock down buildings and build new buildings with tiny small windows and many other things."BIDEN: "I don't know where he comes up with these numbers. $100 trillion -- give me a break."THE FACTS: Biden has never offered a full-throated endorsement of the far-reaching progressive climate plan known as the Green New Deal, but he has released a climate plan that aligns with many of its environmental goals.His $2 trillion clean energy plan calls for achieving a carbon-free power sector by 2035 through renewable energy, cleaner cars and zero-emission mass transit systems.

Sales to cloud computing providers will slow in the current period, Intel said.Falling prices and narrowing profit margins reinforced concern that Intel is losing its lead in chip manufacturing technology, exposing the company to the strongest competition it has faced in more than a decade.During a conference call, Chief Executive Officer Bob Swan said he's still deciding how much production to outsource. Executives also said the Covid-19 pandemic increased demand for cheaper chips and predicted those headwinds will pass.Cody Acree, an analyst at Loop Capital Markets, said he didn't accept Intel's use of the pandemic as a reason for the quarterly revenue decline, citing a boost in demand for PCs during the past few months that wouldn't have occurred otherwise."I didn't hear any answers to the biggest questions," Acree said.Intel's stock fell about 10% in extended trading.
