John:

Barrett expected "modest growth in the third quarter over the second quarter." In the Q2 earnings report, Intel predicted Q3 revenues of $6.3B to $6.9B, while Q2 revenues were $6.3B.

So the question is what is "modest" growth? Intel's usual "speak" is "flat" (meaning 0% +/- 1 or 2%), "up/down slightly" (meaning ~2.5%), or "up/down" (meaning ~5% or higher). If it's 5%, then they'll be near the mid-point of their guidance, which isn't too bad in this environment, and is much better than having to issue a downward mid-quarter revision for revenues. If "modest" equates to "up slightly" it would put them in the lower portion of revenue guidance, but still avoids a downward revision.
