Intel's financials looking lots better as customers ease off the Intel Atom netbook frenzy and go back to bigger chips.
Intel, with its new Nehalem-based CPUs hitting the big time since early this year, has been enjoying success. In fact, the company this week announced that it's had its best financial quarter ever.
Intel Corporation today reported first-quarter revenue of $10.3 billion. The company reported operating income of $3.4 billion, net income of $2.4 billion and EPS of 43 cents.
"The investments we’re making in leading edge technology are delivering the most compelling product line-up in our history," said Paul Otellini, Intel president and CEO. "These leadership products combined with growing worldwide demand and continued outstanding execution resulted in Intel's best first quarter ever. Looking forward, we're optimistic about our business as Intel products are designed into a variety of new and exciting segments."

and I disagree that amd is dropping the ball. they had financial troubles, and sure, their processors haven't been as exciting, but lets not forget they have also been struggling with getting ATI properly under its wing, and with the 5 series Radeons, they really seem to be pushing ahead now on the graphics front. I am still VERY interested to see what a big high performance CPU AND GPU company can do as they begin to reach their full stride.
Intel I series is cutting edge. This is where Intel has done a fantastic job and moved around any amd comparison. Perception, however far from the truth it may be is king with the consumer
