While revenue for Microsoft’s flagship cloud services business Azure more than doubled last quarter, the company said in Thursday’s earning report, the “intelligent cloud” division that includes it saw just 3 percent revenue growth in the period. Operating profits for the division dropped by 14 percent, in part reflecting non-cloud products included under its umbrella, such as traditional server software.

Chipmaker Intel has a less clear path to growth for its cloud operations.

Clients are spending a larger part of their technology budget on software, according to Gartner. Intel’s customer base for data-centre chips is consolidating into a few big companies, including Facebook, Google, Amazon and Microsoft itself, from a much wider group.
