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 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, 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. | |||
https://community.intel.com/t5/Blogs/Tech-Innovation/Client/Intel-Core-13th-and-14th-Gen-Desktop-Instability-Root-Cause/post/1633446#M40 | 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. | ||
