What each one does

AMD. AMD designs processors (CPUs) and graphics cards (GPUs) for computers, consoles and data centers. It's the main rival to Intel in CPUs and to NVIDIA in AI chips.

Arm. Arm designs the world's most-used chip architecture: nearly every smartphone runs on processors based on its designs. It manufactures nothing; it licenses its IP and collects a small royalty on every chip sold — a very high-margin model.
