The company reported an adjusted loss per share of -$0.46, which was worse than the -$0.02 expected by analysts.

Intel also expects Q4 adjusted earnings per share of $0.12, above the $0.08 analysts were anticipating.

CEO Pat Gelsinger commented on the results, stating, "Our Q3 results underscore the solid progress we are making against the plan we outlined last quarter to reduce costs, simplify our portfolio and improve organizational efficiency."

The company reported significant progress on its $10 billion cost reduction plan, recognizing $2.8 billion in restructuring charges during the quarter.
