What growth does each share price assume?
| Measure | AMD (AMD) | Intel (INTC) |
|---|---|---|
| Free cash flow growth the price implies | n/a | 34.3% a year |
| Free cash flow per share | $4.36 | $1.21 |
| Margin of safety on this site's DCF | -503.4% | -173.0% |
AMD's price is above what this site's DCF gives even at 40% a year of free cash flow growth, so the price assumes more than any growth rate tested.
At $56.28, Intel's price implies free cash flow growth of 34.3% a year, fading to 2.5% over 10 years. That is more growth than the 8% baseline.
The same model and baseline as every stock page. A price that asks for less growth is not a better company, only a lower bar to clear.

About the same on: dividend yield. A lead needs a clear gap (10% apart on a ratio, 1 point on a percentage), so a rounding difference never names a winner. A lead on one measure is not a verdict on the company.
How do the businesses differ?
AMD. AMD designs processors and graphics chips for PCs, game consoles, servers and AI data centers. Ryzen and EPYC processors compete with Intel; Instinct accelerators compete with NVIDIA. Manufacturing is outsourced, mainly to TSMC.
Intel. Intel designs and manufactures processors for PCs and servers, and runs a contract chip-making business (Intel Foundry) for other chip designers. It is spending heavily to catch up in advanced chip manufacturing and in AI chips.
Both are in the Semiconductors industry on this site.
