In a recent statement, Intel said its sales were showing signs of optimism, even higher than expected, partly because of Microsoft "death" of Windows XP last April.

Accordingly, Intel estimates that Q2 / 2014 revenue will reach USD 13.7 billion (USD 300 million difference ) in place of the figure of USD 13 billion ( difference of USD 500 million ) that the company used to offer before. The main reason is that the discontinuation of Microsoft's support for Windows XP has inadvertently prompted users of these old equipment to buy new or upgrade hardware such as VXL, mainboard, . ( Intel is the "boss" of the market. this school ).

Besides, Intel's sales also have the contribution of a series of recently launched names, especially the Surface Pro 3 .

Q2 / 2014 will end on June 30 and most companies will report revenue in July or August afterwards.
