INTC inventories
Inventories at the end of the quarter were $3.2 billion, a 15 percent rise from the end of the first quarter. That's on top of an 11 percent increase in the first quarter. Wall Street is worried that Intel could be faced with an excess of chips if demand for PCs, servers and other tech hardware cools.

"It's all about the inventory. That's the biggest thing," said Kevin Rottinghaus, an analyst with FTN Midwest Research. "The company is going to have to work through some inventory this quarter."

Intel CFO Andy Bryant addressed this issue during a conference call with analysts Tuesday, saying that the company was planning to slow the output of some new chips in order to reduce microprocessor inventories by hundreds of millions of dollars by the end of the year.

Bryant added that he did not think Intel would need to write-down unsold inventory between now and the end of the year because demand in the second half should be strong
