No CPU did not report Earnings.
CPU reported Sales. Salex are not Earnings.

Now lets see, What does CPU sell ?

Computer yes Dell sells that.
Extendid warrenties yes Dell sells that.
Books No Dell does not sell those
Software of all varaities No Dell does not sell that.
Training clases ( large part of growth over last 4 quarters )
Dell does not do that.
AAPL computers No dell does not do that. (probably not important anyway)
Accessory / add on / periferials (NIC's, DRAM, Parts, You know the counter I am talking about)
Dell sell some of that.
And by the way, If some one needed that something extra to put under the tree, CPU was fast easy and convient.

Last of all, CPU sells Sub Zeros. According to CNBC earlier, 40% of consumer sales. that is 40% up from 10% 1 year ago.
Dell does not do that.

CPU has nothing to do with DELL
The CPU earnings up is bad news for DELL.
