Intel didn’t wait for its scheduled mid-quarter update on December 4. It came out after the market closed this evening and said business stinks. It took down its fourth-quarter projections. The company now expects Q4 revenue to be $9 billion, plus or minus $300 million, over 10% lower than its previous guidance of somewhere between $10.1 billion and $10.9 billion.
The news from the critical bellwether is expected to cast a big black pall over the entire industry.
Intel said revenue is being impacted by significantly weaker-than-expected demand in all geographies and market segments.
Besides that the PC supply chain is aggressively reducing component inventories.
The company figures it can pull out a fourth-quarter gross margin is ~55%, four points less than the ~59% it expected a few weeks ago primarily because of lower revenue and other charges associated with the weaker-than-expected demand environment.
The company's results are due January 15.
