The company reported earnings before certain costs such as stock compensation of 13 cents per share, squeezing past Wall Street’s consensus estimate of 12 cents per share. Revenue for the quarter came to $14.26 billion, up 7% from a year ago and ahead of the Street’s target of $13.81 billion.

Intel reported non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) of $0.13, exceeding analysts' estimates of $0.1. The company also reported revenue of $14.3 billion, surpassing the forecast of $13.8 billion.
