Vantaggi
1. Industry Legacy & Trust One of the oldest and most established semiconductor companies Strong reputation in CPUs, servers, and enterprise solutions 2. In-House Manufacturing (IDM Model) Designs and manufactures chips (unlike many competitors) Better long-term control over production and supply chain 3. Strong R&D Capability Heavy investment in innovation (process nodes, packaging like Foveros) Key player in advancing semiconductor technology
Svantaggi
Falling Behind in Process Technology Delays in moving to smaller nodes (10nm, 7nm issues in past) Competitors like AMD (with TSMC) gained an edge 2. High Power Consumption Intel chips often consume more power Leads to: More heat 🔥 Lower efficiency (especially in laptops) 3. Increasing Competition Strong pressure from: AMD (CPUs) Apple (custom silicon) NVIDIA (AI chips)
