Intel announces Q4 results
Chipmaker Intel will today announce its Q4 results, with analysts expecting the company to post sales of $19.2bn for the quarter – a year-on-year rise of 3%. There are also expectations of a rise in revenue and sales.
However, despite positive predictions, Intel still has a lot to prove, as it has been plagued by CPU product delays and has faced increased competition from Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), which has pulled it into a pricing war.
The results will be announced in an earnings conference at 2:00pm PT, which will be available as a webcast via Intel’s website.
