In the first quarter of 2013, we completed a reorganization that transferred a portion of our wired connectivity business formerly included within the Data Center Group (DCG) to the PC Client Group (PCCG), as the technology from that portion of the business is primarily used for client connectivity. Due to this reorganization, goodwill was transferred from DCG to PCCG. For further information see "Note 20: Operating Segments Information."
