Each company's own classification and latest fiscal year with a stored split; categories differ between companies and are never added together.

Period ends — Intel: 26 Sep 2026 · AMD: 26 Sep 2026. Valuation multiples remain trailing.

Copper underline: the leader among values for comparable periods. Higher is better, except P/E and P/S, where the lower positive multiple leads. R&D, capex, employees and shares have no leader. Peer median uses the latest quarter of the 20 covered companies and is shown for ratios only. “—” means neither the figure nor its inputs are stored; hover or tap for the missing input.

How to read this comparison

Business models. The selected companies have different business models; margins and multiples need that context. Intel designs and manufactures chips; factory utilisation, product mix and depreciation affect margins; AMD designs chips while outsourcing wafer manufacturing; revenue depends on product demand and mix.

Cyclicality. Intel (integrated manufacturing (IDM)): earnings are sensitive to capacity, utilisation and the investment or demand cycle. Trailing multiples can be distorted by peak or trough earnings.

Accounting and periods. Latest reported quarter ends — Intel: 2026-09-26 · AMD: 2026-09-26. Each value retains its period, status and source; adjusted measures remain separate. Same-mode periods within 100 days are compared; valuation multiples remain trailing.
