Intel to combine PC unit with struggling mobile chip division

From CNET: Intel plans to combine its PC and mobile chip groups into one division as the company struggles to expand its chip sales for mobile devices.

The reorganization, which was announced Monday in an email sent to employees by CEO Brian Krzanich, will be implemented early next year, Intel spokesman Chuck Mulloy said.

"The market continues to evolve rapidly, and we must change even faster to stay ahead," Krzanich said in the email, which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.

Kirk Skaugen, a senior vice president who now oversees Intel's PC Client Group, will lead the newly formed Client Computing Group, Mulloy said. The new division will also include sales of processors and modem chip used in mobile devices, which were previously part of the Mobile and Communications Group.
