"INTC is indicating that might be having a good quarter......." So is AMD. Lots of reports of chip shortages, especially in the low range. Now AMD is switching to dual core at a fast clip, which impacts the number of chips they can make. But Fab36 should be pushing out as many square meters of silicon as Fab30 and there are also the chips from Chartered. I get the feeling that the reason Intel is talking up Q4 a day before they report on Q3 is that Q3 sucked for them. Not bad enough for a miss, but bad enough that they want to get it behind them as soon as possible.
