Intel doing well in China!Chinese Computer Market Growth Boosts Asia-Pacific Sales: Intel
Intel Corporation revealed on Feb.20 that its highest revenue source in the
Asia-Pacific is largely due to the robust Chinese mainland's consumption and
outsourcing market, according to Xinhuanet.com..
Joseph M La Valle, the company's Asia Pacific director of sales, said at a
press conference that the sales growth of personal computers are relatively
flat in the United States, but that for the Chinese mainland continues to be
strong.
In fourth quarter of 2001, Intel recorded a revenue of seven billion U.S.
dollars, of which 35 percent was gained through its Asian Pacific sales.
La Valle added that the demand for cellular phones is also relatively flat
in the United States and Western Europe, but it grows rapidly in the Chinese
mainland.
As the Chinese mainland is developing its design capability, a lot of U.S.
companies are coming here to have their products designed and built, and the
move, thereby, helps increase the sales of Intel's chipsets, he said.
Intel currently works with hundreds of mainland companies on its traditional
computer processors, and also with dozens of mainland companies on its newly
launched Xscale series of micro-processors.
