Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) Third Quarter Sales Predictions Falls Short of Market Forecasts – INTC, AMD, TXN, BRCM

The Santa Clara, California-based Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) estimate sales in the third-quarter that were below some analysts had forecasted as an economic delay in China, the biggest computer market, erodes demand.

Intel, the world’s biggest semiconductor manufacturer, reported in a statement on Tuesday that revenue in the current quarter would be $14.3 billion plus or minus $500 million. Analysts had anticipated sales of $14.6 billion, the median forecasts gathered by Bloomberg. Sales were $14.2 billion in previous year.

Intel’s estimate adds to concern that growth in China is no longer enough to counter an economic droop in Europe and slow expansion in the United States. The chip maker, whose chips are in 8 out of 10 of the world’s personal computers, had kept that demand outside the United States and Europe would drive sales of PCs as additional customers in developing nations become able to acquire their primary machines.
