Dew ,,, In all reality Intels "sales" or top line number is not impressive at all. Intel was doing over $8.0 Billion (2nd q) back in 2004 so their top line growth has been in the area of 5% over a 5 year period. 2010=$10.8b 2009=$8.0b 2008=$9.6b 2007=$8.7b 2006=$8.0b 2005=$9.2b 2004=$8.1b What is remarkable is the recovery from 2009 (was 2010 just pent up demand) and of course their profits. The profits are fantastic.
