DOZER BITWELL: Still up? Good. Breaking news just landed, so let's sit up a little straighter. Intel has reported its third-quarter earnings. LUNA LOWBATT: Revenue was 16.5 billion dollars, up 21 percent. Earnings per share, 52 cents. I'm at four percent, but I'm awake for this. KAI: Huge numbers out of the data center, folks. The data center and AI group made 7.3 billion dollars, up 78 percent. Huge. KAI: This is file footage of server racks. The CFO called it Intel's strongest data center revenue growth in 15 years. Segment margin was 41.5 percent. KAI: Demand is strong across hyperscale, enterprise and neo cloud customers. Purpose Built Silicon revenue more than doubled. And the report says Xeon 6 is selling because basically everything is selling. KAI: The PC side is the rough part. The report says the client business is struggling mightily under DRAM and NAND pricing. Memory is the pinch point. LUNA LOWBATT: The report adds that demand is shifting toward AMD's 192-core Turin parts, which Intel has no direct competitor for. Maybe Clearwater. It isn't sure. DOZER BITWELL: The CEO says the immediate priority is unlocking additional supply. Hm. Where was I. Right. That's the news. Back to you, Luna. ## [AD · fictional product] Hammockly BILLY MAYHEM: Is your cat sleeping on the LAPTOP again? Meet Hammockly, the pet hammock that clamps onto ANY chair! BILLY MAYHEM: Watch! Whiskers goes in, Whiskers stays in, and, oh. Whiskers is on the monitor. But wait, there's more! A second hammock, for the monitor! PRUDENCE NUANCE: My cat slept in it for a whole afternoon. Or the cat was merely resting its eyes. Hard to say. AI-written satire. The text of the news items comes from the linked articles.
