Intel (INTC) Plans to Combine PC, Mobile Chip Units

Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) is looking to merge its PC and mobile chip divisions as the company looks to gain a stronger foothold in the still-growing smartphone and tablet segments.

The WSJ said Tuesday that Intel's changes will take hold in early 2015.

Kirk Skaugen, who oversees Intel's PC-client group, will oversee a new unit called the client-computing group. That unit will be part of the mobile and communications group, which reported a $1 billion operating loss in Q3.

Shares of Intel are flat in early trading.
