Editing Intel CPUs stability issue (section)

==Broader implications==
Over the past few years, Intel has faced numerous challenges, including competition from [[AMD]], delays in its manufacturing process nodes, and a decline in its market share in key segments.

===Revenue decline===
Looking at the 10-K<ref>[https://www.intc.com/filings-reports/annual-reports/content/0000050863-24-000010/0000050863-24-000010.pdf Intel's 10-K]</ref> reports from recent years, a clear decline in net revenue, net income, and its percentage can be observed. The most alarming trend is the sharp drop in net income percentage, which plummeted from 25.1% in 2021 to just 3.1% in 2023.

Instability issues have further damaged the company image for reliability, potentially leading to higher costs and contributing to the already negative revenue trend.

===Increased competition and loss of market share===
According to reports from Mercury Research,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Shilov |first=Anton |date=8 Nov 2024 |title=AMD's desktop PC market share skyrockets amid Intel's Raptor Lake CPU crashing scandal — AMD makes biggest leap in recent history |url=https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/amds-desktop-pc-market-share-skyrockets-amid-intels-raptor-lake-crashing-scandal-amd-makes-biggest-leap-in-recent-history |url-status=live |access-date=15 Mar 2025 |website=Tom's Hardware}}</ref> AMD's market share for desktop CPUs in Q3 2024 was 9.6% higher compared to Q3 of the prior year. This growth could lead to a shift in market dynamics, potentially putting the competition at risk. Competition is essential for consumers because it drives companies to deliver better performance, efficiency, and value.

Intel's loss in market share highlights the importance of competition for innovation. However, with only two major CPU manufacturers, Intel and AMD, a significant imbalance in market share could limit consumer choice and innovation in the long run. Ensuring healthy competition between both players remains crucial for a balanced and thriving market.
