Intel (INTC) reported an inline quarter on revenue with a slight beat on net income with earnings per share of $0.58 for the quarter. Guidance was at the low end of expectations with Q4 revenue at $13.7 billion plus or minus $500 million. The breakout of segment earnings was revealing nonetheless. PC Client Group was pleasantly ahead of many expectations with operating income of $3.3 billion, essentially unchanged from 2012 despite many dire predictions of the death of the personal computer (PC), and Data Centre Group continued its steady growth with operating income of $1.4 billion up from $1.2 billion last year.
The surprise was in the "Other Intel Architecture" segment, which includes the smartphone and tablet segment. Sales of $1.1 billion were down from $1.2 billion in 2012, and the net loss ballooned to $0.6 billion from $0.2 million despite all the effort to promote Bay Trail and Silvermont for smart devices. Progress in these areas is halting at best.
