Intel's client computing division includes platforms for notebooks, desktops, tablets, smartphones and various other wireless and wired connectivity products. According to BloombergBusiness, Intel executives mentioned in an earnings conference call that a scaling back on server purchases by Chinese corporations has led to a reduced growth target for that division. However, Intel's data center group, which includes the server division, rose in year-over-year quarterly revenues by $424 million thanks in large part to a shift towards cloud computing data center chip production. Interestingly, Intel's financial report for the third quarter indicates an increase in research & development funding, from $2.84 billion in 2014's third quarter up to $2.92 billion in the most recent one.
