NOTE 3: OPERATING SEGMENTS

We manage our business through the following operating segments:


•	Client Computing Group (CCG)


•	Data Center Group (DCG)


•	Internet of Things Group (IOTG)


•	Non-Volatile Memory Solutions Group (NSG)


•	Programmable Solutions Group (PSG)


•	All Other

During the third quarter of 2018, we made an organizational change to combine our artificial intelligence investments in edge computing with IOTG; accordingly, approximately $480 million of goodwill was reallocated from "all other" to the IOTG operating segment.

We offer platform products that incorporate various components and technologies, including a microprocessor and chipset, a stand-alone System-on-Chip (SoC), or a multichip package. A platform product may be enhanced by additional hardware, software, and services offered by Intel. Platform products are used in various form factors across our CCG, DCG, and IOTG operating segments. We derive a substantial majority of our revenue from platform products, which are our principal products and considered as one class of product.

CCG and DCG are our reportable operating segments. IOTG, NSG, and PSG do not meet the quantitative thresholds to qualify as reportable operating segments; however, we have elected to disclose the results of these non-reportable operating segments.

The “all other” category includes revenue, expenses, and charges such as:


•	results of operations from non-reportable segments not otherwise presented, including Mobileye results;


•	historical results of operations from divested businesses, including Intel Security Group (ISecG) results;


•	results of operations of start-up businesses that support our initiatives, including our foundry business;


•	amounts included within restructuring and other charges;


•	a portion of employee benefits, compensation, and other expenses not allocated to the operating segments; and


•	acquisition-related costs, including amortization and any impairment of acquisition-related intangibles and goodwill.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), which is our interim Chief Executive Officer, does not evaluate operating segments using discrete asset information. Operating segments do not record inter-segment revenue. We do not allocate gains and losses from equity investments, interest and other income, or taxes to operating segments. Although the CODM uses operating income to evaluate the segments, operating costs included in one segment may benefit other segments. Except for these differences, the accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for Intel as a whole.

Net revenue and operating income (loss) for each period were as follows:
