Intel’s profit rises by 25%, notebooks help
Intel has been benefiting from brisk sales of notebook PCs, which are on track to outpace sales of desktop PCs this year. On Monday, Intel rolled out the latest generation of its Centrino wireless chip after a delay of several months. Shares of Intel ticked higher following the results, after gaining 1.2 percent in regular Nasdaq trading. “I like the revenue outlook and the gross margin outlook,” said Doug Freedman, an analyst with American Technology Research. “The only slight negative is the spending level on marketing and general administration is slightly higher.”

Notebooks are perfect for college students. Mine sucks for gaming though.
And you can’t upgrade ‘em. Which also sucks.
The reason for this, most collages and uni’s are making it mandatory, in some programs, to purchase a laptop. So boom, there goes the profit, because you now have tons of students that have to buy one, that wouldnt of really purchased one in the first place.
i can say i helped their profits my new desktop is intel
my next pc will be an amd for use as a htpc
I wonder how well their profit growth will be after this gets out to the world: http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/148353/researcher_to_demonstrate_attack_code_for_intel_chips.html
@5: I agree, and considering most of them offer a “reduced price” for one of the laptops from their suppliers, and most likely, those have intel chips vs amd.
Ha I got an HP notebook Dv2620 running vista ultimate 64 on 2 gigs of ram. With an AMD 64 x2
3rd year engineering student. Though it is not mandatory…most assignments are done with a computer… giving those who own a laptop a clear advantage.
NOOOOO its because millions of apple macs have intel chips now.
apple will save intel!
Apple? Puh-lease.
Intel needs no saving… its crap AMD that needs help filing chapter 11… just start making cell phone cpu’s and leave the real stuff to the masters of the chip!… and its good to see the chip tax on pringles go away in the UK… wow taxes in other country’s really suck
@Intel
Go manufacture some proper Quad Core CPU (4 die, rather than 2*2 die).
@AMD
Stop messing around and sort of lack of performance in your quad core CPUs.
Multimillion dollar companies….getting bigger…and bigger..
I just wish we went back to the stone age…lol
So if profits rose by x% and stocks rose y% what amount did wages for workers increase????? Or considering the weak dollar is a 25% increase really a decrease??
@14 be careful what you wish for, the futile system is making a comeback!
