Profit Rises 25% at Intel on Strong Global Demand

粗利益率が55.4%。相変わらず。Atomが収益源として台頭。個数は出るが，収支は苦しいと思うが。

Intel’s gross margin, a closely watched barometer of profitability, rose to 55.4 percent, slightly lower than the roughly 56 percent the company had predicted, but an improvement over 46.9 percent in the year-ago period and 53.8 percent in the first quarter.

Intel executives said the company had missed its projections because computer makers shifted to lower-priced chips, like the Atom processor that is used in low-cost mini-notebook PCs known as netbooks.
