aburner, Re: "Intel continues to set volume records in PRC, India, and Latin America.

If Intel sold 1 single CPU more in Q3 than in Q2 in each of those regions that'd be new volume records as well."
Somehow, the enthusiasm behind the statement suggested to me a little more than that. <g>
Re: "I think the old reports of lower sales in Q3 were wrong, and Intel ended up selling much better than they thought.

We'll never know for sure I'm afraid. Did you come across any analyst reports or publications indicating that they believe the same?"
Analysts are a great tool to go by, but if you followed everything they said, you would lose money, and that's a fact more often than not! On the other hand, if you can think beyond the analysts, and grab opportunities by paying closer attention to things than they do not, then you can end up doing quite well in the stock market.
A good rule of thumb that a buddy once told me: when analysts are crazy over a stock for no good reason, then that's the time to sell. When analysts are pessimistic over a stock for no good reason, then that's a good time to buy. I think three main products are coming back into the market in the near future: PCs, Networking, and Communications. Intel is a leader in all three, which makes it a good thing to buy now.
