That is incorrect, my option is ask IT for a new laptop, where they would give me a crappy Inspiron with a 2+8 Alder Lake-U processor like they are giving out to everyone right now. This isn't a computer I bought myself or else it would have been Zen...
My work laptop is an XPS 15 with an I9-10885H. Yes, the ridiculous pushed to the max top-of-line Comet Lake mobile CPU. I've pretty much accepted constant fan noise and a stream of heat as there is no way to have a middle ground between extreme heat max performance or the "silent" BIOS that...
They basically only bought back enough shares to offset the dilutive effect of stock compensation to employees. The shares outstanding are basically the same when you look at the balance sheet.
If AMD were still on Polaris/Vega GCN4 or a derivative, it would be a no brainer for Apple to ditch them. RDNA and RDNA2 have probably been enough progress to buy AMD some more time on Apple's platform.
No difference. We are talking about a very, very modest amount of debt/leverage. It's basically like taking a mortgage on a house, something that very few people would argue should be avoided 100% of the time. We can argue about how much is appropriate, but AMD has a very reasonable debt level...
Also interest rates are at an all-time low and interest also offsets taxable income (lowering taxes which makes the debt even cheaper), whereas equity is pretty expensive to carry (investors want you to start paying dividends or buying back a ton of shares if you let your equity get too large)...
Certain tax benefits are only available to companies in the future (such as net operating loss carryforwards - when a company loses money, they can use those losses to offset income in future years, which makes sense so that companies don't get punished for losing money and then turning things...
Pentium 4s were not just Pentium 4s. Prescott is a completely different architecture/core than Northwood was. Both were terrible if that's what you meant, whereas all Ryzen 5000 are quite good.
PE ratio isn't a good metric to use here, it is backwards looking and Intel's earnings are shrinking and margins are dropping. Their forward PE will be lower than their PE.
