New Street Explains Why Intel Scores Ahead Of AMD On Single-Thread Performance Metrics

Intel Corp $Intel (INTC.US)$ and Advanced Micro Devices Inc $Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$ launched new laptop central processing units at CES 2022, New Street analyst Pierre Ferragu notes.

Both will likely feature in laptops released throughout the beginning year.

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 $Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM.US)$ TSMC 6nm used by AMD and barely behind the TSMC 5nm used by Apple Inc $Apple (AAPL.US)$ 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.
