Intel maintains lead against $AMD on single thread

Intel and AMD launched new laptop central processing units at CES 2022 and both are expected to be featured in laptops released throughout the beginning of the year, New Street analyst Pierre Ferragu tells investors in a research note. 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 TSMC 6nm used by AMD, and barely behind the TSMC 5nm used by Apple in M1, notes Ferragu. The analyst continues to expect Intel to "restore competitiveness and profitability" in its core business between now and 2025.$Intel(INTC)$ $AMD(AMD)$ $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$
