Nvidia nearly doubles AMD's R&D budget – Intel's spending dwarfs both, but struggles to compete
As the world's largest company, Apple also leads in R&D spending
The big picture: The competitive strength of hardware makers is often gauged by their research and development expenditure. However, an analysis of recent financial reports from various tech giants reveals that higher R&D spending does not always guarantee success. Intel's recent struggles and Nvidia's astronomical growth driven by the AI boom have broken conventional assumptions.

The x86 wish list: Complexities of an imaginary Intel takeover
Apparently AMD has blocking rights for any acquisition of Intel. If a deal were to happen, what would AMD ask for?
Editor's take: We are frequently asked some version of the question, "Will someone acquire Intel?" At this point, we think it is highly unlikely, but these are unpredictable times. Setting aside all the principal considerations – like money, strategy, and regulatory approval – there are a few other hurdles. Chief among these is Intel's license for x86.
