“We executed well in the third quarter and delivered solid results in a challenging economic environment,” intel chief executive Brian Krzanich said in a statement. “The quarter demonstrates Intel innovation in action. Customers are excited about our new 6th Gen Intel Core processor, and we introduced our breakthrough 3D XPoint™ technology, the industry’s first new memory category in more than two decades.”

Intel repurchased $1 billion worth of company stock in the quarter, according to the statement.

This quarter included a news event that should lead to major impact for Intel: the launch of Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system. Acer, Asus, HP, and Toshiba, among others have come out with Windows 10 PCs.

Intel launched its 6th Gen Intel Core processors — codenamed Skylake — at the beginning of September. Also in the quarter, the company promoted its RealSense camera technology on a few occasions and also demonstrated 3D XPoint memory.
