Intel recently reported a significant financial loss in the previous quarter, totaling $16.6 billion despite generating $13.3 billion in revenue. This loss was primarily due to restructuring charges of $2.8 billion and depreciation charges of $15.9 billion related to its Intel 7 manufacturing process. However, the company’s financial outlook has exceeded expectations, which has pleased investors.
The Client Computing Group, which is of particular interest to enthusiasts, saw a 7 percent decrease in revenue, totaling $7.3 billion. Despite this, Intel remains optimistic about its position in the AI PC category and aims to ship over 100 million AI PCs by the end of 2025.
Intel’s chief executive, Pat Gelsinger, expressed confidence in the company’s progress and highlighted the strong interest in its 18A manufacturing process. This initiative is part of Intel’s strategy to attract customers to its foundry business.
Following the financial report, Intel’s stock experienced a surge in after-hours trading. The company anticipates a growth in revenue for the fourth quarter, projecting between $13.3 billion and $14.3 billion. This forecast surpasses third-quarter earnings and exceeds Wall Street’s expectations, indicating a positive trajectory for Intel and the PC market.
