INTEL CORP could see an upside surprise of up to $0.15 a share in the 4Q, up from Wall Street's current consensus estimate, said Ashok Kumar, an analyst at Loewenbaum & Co Inc. Kumar said that he is looking for an upside surprise because flash memory prices have stabilized, and he believes Intel's gross profit margins have recovered to the 60% level Intel reported in the 2Q. According to First Call, the consensus on Wall Street for Intel's 4Q is $0.90 a share. Kumar also warned of an inventory build-up of notebook processors, both with original equipment manufacturers and in the distribution channel. He expects as a result, significant price cuts by Intel in the near-term to clear inventory.

But Wall Street analysts who are bullish on Sun see it reaching 60 at some point this year, citing among other factors the perception than Sun is holding its own so far against MICROSOFT CORP's NT operating system. Sun boosters also cite the company's agreement to work with INTEL CORP, Microsoft's longtime ally, to make Sun's Solaris operating system run on Intel's new Merced microprocessor.
