From the end of 2005 through the end of 2011, Intel achieved record revenue and net income. During this period, annual revenue grew from $38.8 billion to $54 billion, while annual earnings-per-share grew from $1.40 to $2.39.
This record is even more impressive when you remember the deep
recession of 2008 and the huge hit IT spending took. IIRC the
server market still hasn't fully recovered, Intel has grown its server
revenues out of the hides of competitors.
