Intel chops $1 billion off sales forcast

Intel announced today that it’s chopping $1 billion off its sales forecasts for the forth quarter of 2008. Previously, Intel had anticipated over $10 billion in sales during the last three months of the year. Now, they’re expecting $9 billion, but the 10 percent drop in expected revenues also comes with a cut into their profit margins which are expected to fall from 60 percent to 55 percent.

This news comes as a result of a rough market right now that’s affecting many companies. Recently, both Cisco and Lenovo also reported their sales have fallen by up to 78 percent.

    Linc A little rough, but not unexpected I suppose.

    BuddyJ When you consider what's happening to other companies, it's not really that bad. Intel is still in a good spot with its 80 percent market share and quality properties. It'll be interesting to see if over the long term it causes delays in products.

Howdy, Stranger!
