1.9bn), a 59% increase on the same period a year ago.
The first major technology company to report its third quarter figures, its
revenues advanced 18% to $11.1bn.
Intel said: "Looking forward, we continue to see healthy worldwide demand for
computing products."

they appear to have recovered since then.
