Last quarter, Intel‘s (NASDAQ: INTC) Client Computing Group (CCG), which mainly relies on sales of chips into personal computers, was the star of the show. It delivered 12% year-over-year revenue growth, outpacing its Data Center Group (DCG), which has long been viewed as the company’s long-term growth engine.
That growth was essentially entirely driven by the company’s notebook chip business. Intel reported that its notebook platform volumes surged 14% year-over-year. Amplifying that unit improvement was a 6% surge in notebook platform average selling prices.
