Intel Goes After Gamers AMD Abandoned
Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) has been losing market share to Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD) over the past few years. A combination of chronic manufacturing delays and other missteps at Intel, good products from AMD, and bleeding-edge technology at third-party foundries have enabled AMD to erase many of Intel's long-held advantages.
But Intel still has one thing that AMD can't match: its own manufacturing facilities. While AMD relies on third parties to make all its chips, Intel makes most of its chips in-house and outsources what makes sense. In a world where demand for chips is high and manufacturing capacity is tight, Intel has much more flexibility.
