as a reason for robust sales, especially in computers, in the world's No.3 economy. The Asia Pacific region, excluding Japan, accounts for roughly three fifths of Intel's revenue. Wedbush Morgan analyst Patrick Wang said there had been concerns about inventory build up and poor sales leading up to the Chinese holiday. But sales remained strong, pushed in part by Chinese government programs to spur consumption of everything from cars to household appliances. Beijing is encouraging scores of technology upgrading projects as part of an effort to spur spending on electronics, among other initiatives.

The revision, which effectively raises the midpoint of the company's revenue and earnings outlook, was largely expected by analysts. "We expect TI to narrow and raise its first quarter revenue and earnings per share guidance to the upper half of the ranges as strong order patterns have persisted into January and February," Wedbush analyst Patrick Wang said in a Monday note. Wang said TI has gotten a boost from its analog business, saying, "Our checks indicate that TI's analog unit continues to experience healthy growth. Specifically, our contacts indicate strong build rates targeted for the China and India geographies.". On the stock's after hours decline, Wang said in an e mail, "It's another case of elevated expectations and even higher whispers.". "Essentially everyone expected them to raise expectations into the upper half of revenue and EPS guidance," he added

Intel 's chief executive heir apparent, Sean Maloney, has suffered a stroke at his home and will take several months' medical leave. The firm said the executive vice president and general manager of the Intel Architecture Group's prognosis for full recovery was "excellent". Analysts believe the company is grooming Maloney, 53, as a possible heir to 59 year old chief executive Paul Otellini. They say the technology expert, who Intel puts forward as its public face at business conferences, has excellent credentials in marketing.
