Intel (INTC) shares opened comfortably in the green on Friday after the Nasdaq-listed firm posted its first quarterly profit in nearly two years.
Under its new chief executive, Lip-Bu Tan, the semiconductor behemoth reported $4.1 billion net income for its Q3, a sharp turnaround from an over $16 billion loss in the same quarter last year.
