> eclipsing Intel

AMD had 2020 revenues of $9.76bln to Intel's $77.87bln. This eclipse is going to take awhile. I'm really excited for the results.

Intel also has a much broader product line; when people talk about "Intel vs. AMD" they're mostly talking about CPUs, and it would be fairer to compare the revenue only from those parts of the Intel and AMD businesses. Right now it seems that Intel has roughly a 60% market share of x86 CPUs vs. ~40% for AMD. I don't now what that is in terms of $ revenue.

Intel was never 8 times bigger; AMD has actually always retained a respectable market share; ~20% market share is nothing to sneer at.

AMD also has GPU, embedded, and custom (like Xbox/PS5). Don't get me wrong, I'm an AMD fan since the day I bought my first Athlon and am happy for their success. Good time to be a customer.

Of course, but Intel has more of it, so if you're comparing CPU revenue you should look only at that part of their businesses.

Ever heard of a solar eclipse? ;)
