Robust results by the world's largest microprocessor maker Intel have brought hope to the market that the worst of the economic slowdown in the computing sector might be over, several news reports said.
On Friday, the company posted revenue of $10.1 billion, an increase of $2.3 billion and 28 per cent year-on-year, Intel told investors.
"Intel's strong 2009 results reflect our investment in industry-leading manufacturing and product innovation," said Paul Otellini, Intel's chief executive.
"Our ability to weather this business cycle demonstrates that microprocessors are indispensable in our modern world. Looking forward, we plan to deliver the benefits of computing to an expanding set of products, markets and customers," he added.
