The analyst says Intel maintains the lead against AMD on single-thread performance metrics and takes the lead on resource density and architecture.
Intel 7 manufacturing is about equivalent to the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd TSM TSMC 6nm used by AMD and barely behind the TSMC 5nm used by Apple Inc AAPL in M1, notes Ferragu.
The analyst continues to expect Intel to "restore competitiveness and profitability" in its core business between now and 2025.
Price Action: INTC shares traded higher by 4.89% at $55.74, while AMD is down 2.22% at $141.21 on the last check Wednesday.
