Intel’s road paved in gold Posted on 15/10/2008 at 12:05 by Marc
Intel has just announced a record third quarter income of 10.2 billion dollars for net profits of 2 billion and operating profits of 3.1 billion. Compared to the third quarter of 2007, Intel recorded a 1% increase in revenue, 44% in operating profits and had 12% higher net profits.
The company specifies that it had record sales in terms of units sold for processors as well as chipsets while revenue from the Atom platform was 200 million dollars. Overall, the average sales price of processors is falling if we include the Atom but it remains stable if it is excluded. Gross profits increased again and are 51.2% higher than the same period last year or 55.4% higher than the previous quarter to attain 58.9%. Let’s hope AMD can make it back on top!
