"Q2 was an outstanding quarter with revenue and profits growing double digits over last year," said Brian Krzanich, Intel CEO. "We also launched new Intel Core, Xeon and memory products that reset the bar for performance leadership, and we're gaining customer momentum in areas like AI and autonomous driving. With industry-leading products and strong first-half results, we're on a clear path to another record year."

"We feel great about where we are relative to our three year plan and heading into the second half. Intel's transformation continues in the third quarter when we expect to complete our planned acquisition of Mobileye," said Bob Swan, Intel CFO. "Based on our strong first-half results and higher expectations for the PC business, we're raising our full-year revenue and EPS forecast."
