Intel's preliminary quarterly report revealed a nine per cent year-over-year increase in revenue for the client segment, reaching $7.4 billion.
However, the 10-Q filing showed the changes in revenue structure, reports the news website about high technologies.
Intel's component shipments for desktop PCs and laptops grew by 11 per cent. The average selling price for desktop PC components decreased by four per cent, while for laptop components, it increased by four per cent.
In the laptop component segment, Intel's revenue increased by 15 per cent year-over-year in the second quarter, reaching $4.5 billion. In fact, over 60 per cent of Intel's revenue in the client segment came from laptop components. The desktop segment contributed about 34 per cent to the client division's revenue in the second quarter, with the remaining five per cent coming from other types of components.
In the desktop segment, Intel's revenue increased by 4.2 per cent to $2.5 billion last quarter. Similar to the laptop segment, the number of desktop components shipped grew by 11 per cent year-over-year, but the average selling price dropped by four per cent. The company notes that this decline in average price is primarily due to a high concentration of older generation products in the mix of desktop components sold.
The company is still dealing with the effects of inventory buildup caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, though the situation is improving. In the mobile segment, the presence of older-generation processors also posed challenges for Intel. However, this issue was offset by shipments of new products manufactured using Intel 4 technology and a lower concentration of models with fewer cores, which are objectively cheaper.
