Intel has posted a 48% rise in quarterly net profits, as strong sales of server microprocessors more than offset weak demand for chips used in personal computers.
The world's largest microchip-maker made a net profit of $3.4bn (£2.1bn) in the last three months of 2010, up from $2.3bn a year earlier.
Its revenues were also ahead of market expectations, rising 8% to $11.5bn.
Intel said 2010 was the best year in its history.
Sales of its microchips for data centres were up 15% in October-December, while those for PCs were flat. - BBC
