Intel Corp., the world’s biggest chipmaker, reported record second-quarter sales and topped analysts’ estimates with its forecast for this period, allaying concern that a rebound in technology spending is losing steam.

Third-quarter sales will be $11.6 billion, plus or minus $400 million, the Santa Clara, California-based company said today in a statement. Analysts had estimated $10.9 billion on average, according to a Bloomberg survey.
