So AMD is down about 3 times as much, percentage-wise. Is that your point? With the Fed funds rate now low and going lower, Intel's stock price now appears to be supported by its dividend rate, currently ~2.5%.

Re: He could have also made $ shorting Intel. Intel declined about $1.50 the last 5 days. I've been looking at INTC stock these past couple of days, and I think when it bottoms out next I might buy some calls. Disclosure: the last time I bought INTC calls was after it dropped from $28 to $22, and those were a disaster, since the stock dropped even further. I ended up losing 60% on them before I sold. I'm hoping not to repeat that mistake again. I already captured some more leaps, but I'm waiting until the stock falls to $19 or below before I buy more.
