Intel has revealed its revenue results with a total full-year revenue of US $52.7 billion which is a one percent loss when compared to the last year. The fourth quarter 2013 revenue was US $13.8 billion which is actually up by 3 percent when compared to the fourth quarter 2012. The three percent gain in Q4 2013 was not enough as Intel's financial revenue, gross margin, incomes, and earnings per share were down by quite a margin compared to the last 2012 financial year.

According to the release financial comparison, its US $52.7 revenue was down by one percent when compared to the 2012, while its 59.8 percent gross margin in 2013 were down by 2.3 points when compared to the last year. The reported US $12.3 billion operating income was also down by 16 percent as well as the net income of US $9.6 billion which was down by 13 percent. Earnings per share were also down from US $2.13 per share in 2012, down to US $1.89, or 11 percent.

Although the quarterly report was not half bad and was better than the Q4 2012, the full-year was not that good mostly due to PC Client Group and other Intel architecture operating segments revenues, which were down by 4 and 7 percent, when compared to the 2012. The Data Center Group did good and its revenue was actually up by 7 percent.

Considering that the last year was not exactly good for PC manufacturers, Intel did good and the loss is not that big.
