GAINST THE previous quarter Intel’s Q1 08 numbers are all minuses, $9.7 billion revenue is down 10%, net income of $1.4 billion is minus 36 per cent.

Compared with Q107 the same revenue is up 9% but income still down 11 per cent

Q1 generally is a weaker Quarter due to the lack of Christmas sales and money in the pockets of everyone.
