…revenue in the company’s client computing group, which includes PCs, fell 7.5% to $8.51 billion. PC chip shipments declined 19%, but the drop was partly offset by a 15% increase in average selling prices…

…The semiconductor giant’s shares, up 1.8% over the past year, added 1% to $32.35 in recent after-hours trading.
