Shares of Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) shot up to a 52-week high after the company easily crushed estimates with a terrific third-quarter report in late October. Though Chipzilla's challenges in its client computing group continued thanks to a stagnating PC market, it pulled enough strings in other fast-growing areas to satisfy investors' expectations.
The company's latest results are proof that it is making good progress to thrive in a post-PC era. Intel's combined revenue from its Internet of Things (IoT) and non-volatile memory solutions divisions jumped 30% year-over-year to $1.74 billion. These businesses now supply almost 11% of Intel's total revenue, up from 8.4% in the prior-year period.
