If chips and processor sales are an indicator of the downstream health of the IT marketplace, Intel chief Paul Otellini is signaling that PC and server sales may have stabilized. He told analysts that Intel sales are “a little better than we expected.”

Intel stock value jumped 3 percent in after hours trading following Otellini’s remarks that personal computer sales had “bottom out” and beginning to rebound. Additionally, he said semiconductor sales are beginning to improve.
