Intel's Everywhere: 75% of the Company's Business is Overseas
More than 75% of the company's business comes from overseas -- a trend that global stimulus spending is likely to increase.
Brazil
Intel is working on stimulus projects in Brazil, one of its rapidly growing markets, and in Chile, Colombia, France, Greece, and Spain.
Taiwan
Intel's revenue from Taiwan was $9.87 bil-lion, making it the company's single largest international market in 2008.
Japan
Last year, Japan was the company's third-largest market overseas, with revenue of $3.99 billion.
China
Stimulus spending on a 40,000-kilometer high-speed-rail project promises to boost Intel's China business, which reached $4.97 bil-lion in 2008.
