Intel forecast fourth quarter revenue of $10.1 billion, plus or minus $400 million, and said fourth quarter gross margins should be 62 percent, plus or minus 3 percentage points. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S are, on average, expecting a fourth quarter revenue of $9.5 billion and a gross margin of 56.86 percent.
