Intel Corp (INTC)

obscure AND common????

first consider that Intel and AMD's ASPs are converging. If you don't understand why having a higher rev/employee number is better then there is truely no hope for you. EFFICIENCY

Here's another number to consider - CPUs per employee:

if we assume $95 ASPs for AMD and $145 for Intel, we end up with:

approx 420 chips per Intel employee
approx 1335 chips per AMD employee

Here is another interesting thought:

$ of PPE per chip produced in the latest q:

Intel $409
AMD $209

Again, in a world of converging ASPs, these figures point to AMD being a vastly more efficient enterprise. Which company fairs best in a duopoly? The lean low cost producer, or the bloated smelly sick whale?
