That's the reason Intel is under valued now. After Intel gets back to leading position in terms of chip design and manufacture, its margin will go up, and sales/income per employee will go up too. At least now I see it's going to the right direction. Buy stocks is for the future, I see the next 6-18 months Intel will be in better position than now because
* Lunar Lake/Arrow Lake will be released with better efficiency and performance at the end of this year.
* Intel next gen GPU chips will be released, start getting some market share from near 0 market share today. Seems like most of driver issues are sorted out. It will be very competitive, and market welcome a new player in the space as current only two players.
* Intel 20A/18A should be ready for volume production for its own chips and external customers.
* Intel may be able to get more AI server chip business as of now the number is small, easier to grow.
* Then, spin off FPGA, and IDM business units to unlock share hold value.
Semi-conductor is still a growth business, pretty much semi chips are needed in all places. All these I just do not see too much downside risks from current $32/share, 1/2 of AMD market cap, and 2X of AMD sales.
