Apple isn't the only firm posting impressive financial results for the last quarter. Intel did rather well for itself, too. The chip maker raked in a record $13 billion in revenue for the second quarter of this year, a 21% year-over-year increase. Net income hit $3 billion for the quarter, which is a mere 2% higher than for the same period last year. Here's how the numbers for this quarter compare to those from a couple of previous ones:
| Q2 2010 | Q1 2011 | Q2 2011 | |
| Revenue | $10.8 billion | $12.8 billion | $13.0 billion |
| Net profit | $2.9 billion | $3.2 billion | $3.0 billion |
| Gross margin | 67% | 61% | 61% |
Although the official press release says that Intel enjoyed double-digit revenue growth across all business units, it also concedes year-over-year revenues were down 15% for Atom processors and chipsets. The Atom division only accounted for $352 million in revenue, though, and the PC Client Group as a whole saw its revenue rise by 11%.
