Intel defied the post-PC naysayers Tuesday and posted record Q3 results that
beat expectations, while Apple, the post-PC icon, stumbled and got badly
bruised when it didn't sell as many iPhones as everybody thought.
Intel also forecast Q4 above what anybody - including itself - was expecting,
but conservatively below seasonality. It's hoping for magic from Windows 8
when it finally appears next year.
Intel's immediate tickle is coming from laptops selling particularly into
emerging markets like China, Brazil, India, Turkey and Indonesia and
enterprise server sales, especially to the cloud, as PC growth in the US and
Europe, especially in Europe, slows or is cannibalized by tablets. However,
PC sales in China were up 12%, India 21%, Turkey 14% and Indonesia 23%.
Brazil is now the third-largest PC market behind China and the US.
Intel made $3.47 billion in Q3, up 17%,... (more)

Gartner told Reuters that it overestimated how many PCs Acer shipped in the
last seven quarters by around 11%. Not a little matter since Acer ousted Dell
from the number two spot worldwide during that time.
By Reuters' calculations Gartner miscounted by as many as a million boxes in
some of the quarters between 1Q08 and 3Q09.
Gartner, whose numbers for Acer have been higher than IDC's, did not explain
the miscount or how it came to light. Acer gives the bean counters "guidance"

A Daiwa Securities analyst suggested to Reuters that ... (more)
