OT - INTC
<p>OT - INTC - Some bad news. Although INTC beat numbers
for Q3, it gave guidance for Q4 as flat, and below analyst
expectations. So they get whacked for about -6% today. Not great,
but their price has been on a generally upward trend for a while.
Data centers are not performing as well as predicted - single digit
growth so far as opposed to projected double digits. I do wonder
where they are, and what the plans and projections, in what time
frame, their new blazingly fast flash memory that pretty clearly
seems to be the successor to current SSD technology, developed in
tandem with Micron. I *think* (I may be wrong) that it is already
showing up in some of INTC's own brand of slot-memory cards, which
are pricey, but fast. But as I said, I'm unsure if that employs the
new tech, or that is to come. I'd think that the applications,
including data centers and enterprise storage would be a boon to
them, somewhere going forward, as it seems there are no challengers
to this product. Least not yet, and maybe not ever.</p>
