Why intel Struggling?
Intel has a long history as a major chipset manufacturer. It possesses strong financial resources, loyal customers, and passionate supporters, along with significant company size. The challenge lies in developing new market strategies. Alternatively, some might argue it could simply focus on advanced designs like 7nm technology—perhaps due to technological gaps. Yet, these remain common industry practices. Still, why not leverage AMD’s substantial market cap (around 25%) and offer consumers top-tier processors, cutting-edge desktop CPUs, or high-performance server chips that deliver maximum potential without compromising value?
Intel stands at a valuation of $240 billion. They aren't facing any significant challenges. In recent years, their pace of innovation has slowed considerably, missing opportunities that could have kept them ahead. If they hadn't allowed AMD to push the market forward through strong marketing like AMD's "We're with you, customers!" campaign, they might still be the top choice. Still, their focus on consumer desktops—particularly the 4th to 7th generation Core i series—has been limited.
Intel would disclose specific CPU details, yet AMD managed to secure server CPUs before. The size design likely played a role in their capabilities.
They recently faced challenges in achieving strong results from their 10nm manufacturing. It seems they are considering moving to bigger wafers—like 300mm or 450mm—to lower costs per wafer.
