Intel Says 1st-Qtr Sales to Be in Line With Forecast (Update4)
By Cesca Antonelli

Santa Clara, California, March 7 (Bloomberg) -- Intel Corp., the world's biggest chipmaker, said first-quarter sales will be in line with forecasts, as personal-computer demand drops after a pickup during the holiday sales season.

Revenue will be $6.6 billion to $6.9 billion, compared with the $6.4 billion to $7 billion range Intel gave in January. Chief Financial Officer Andy Bryant said computer-chip demand is following a normal pattern for this time of year, and an economic recovery hasn't started yet.

Sales of chips that run wireless devices and networking gear are still weak, Bryant said on a conference call. Intel's revenue inched up in the fourth quarter after a yearlong slump as consumers bought more PCs and its most expensive Pentium 4 chips were in short supply. Some investors were watching today's report for signs of a broader computer-industry recovery.

``The bulls were hoping for more,'' said Scott Vergin, who manages about $4 billion at Intel shareholder Lutheran Brotherhood Inc. ``People thought they might move the range up to the high end. This leaves things right where they were.''
