Intel Raises Outlook

intcIntel is a bellwether for the tech sector; as goes Intel, so goes the industry. So if the company raises its third-quarter revenue forecast because of stronger-than-expected demand for its microprocessors and chipsets, as it did today, then the industry may truly be stabilizing.

For the quarter, Intel (INTC) had been expecting revenue in the range of $8.1 billion to $8.9 billion. Now the company expects revenue to range between $8.8 billion to $9.2 billion.

Intel is next scheduled to report financials on Oct. 13.
