Deutsche Bank maintains a 'Buy' on Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) price target raised from $30 to $33.

Deutsche analyst, says, "Intel's 1Q12 results/guidance were largely in line with our expectations. The only surprise was the magnitude of 2Q GM impact from 22nm ramp a -4ppt hit from pulling in this ramp by 3-6 months. In the ST this raises product costs, but these costs should decline sharply in 2H12 as illustrated by 2012 GM guidance being unchanged. Overall, we believe these investments will put INTC further ahead of competitors and therefore incrementally raise our ests and P/T ($33)."

Lowers Q2 EPS from $0.55 to $0.52, raises FY12 from $2.45 to $2.50 and FY13 from $2.64 to $2.70.
