Intel’s Results Reflect Move to Cloud Computing - The New York Times

From a snapshot of Intel's increasingly cloudy business model

"Intel’s mix of cloud-computing customers shows how much influence is wielded by just a handful of big operations. Of 200 cloud company customers that Intel tracks, just seven take one-third of those chips: Google, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft and Facebook, as well as Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent of China.
