With a tremendous product and technology pipeline for 2012, we’re excited about the global growth opportunities presented by Ultrabook systems, the data center, security and the introduction of Intel-powered smartphones and tablets," said Otellini.
Intel expects revenue to be of $12.8bn, plus or minus $500m in the first quarter of 2011. This decline, which would be slightly more than the average seasonal decline, is due to the expected continuation of shortage of hard disk drives in the first quarter.
