Intel sales forecast disappoints market

Chip maker Intel last night narrowed its revenue forecast for the first quarter of this year, disappointing the market.

It said revenue for the period would be between $8 billion and $8.2 billion, compared with a previous forecast of $7.9 billion to $8.5 billion.

The company left its margin forecast unchanged at 60%.

Intel said demand for its products 'is consistent with the lower end of normal seasonal patterns and significantly higher than in the same period last year'.
