The likes of AMD are growing, Intel is shrinking. Discounted cash flows will heavily favour the former
Indeed. AMD is treated as a growth stock but the thing is they don't have much room left to grow. They ate the CPU market but what happens now? They can keep up data center growth for another year, but they aren't going to stay on top of the CPU market forever. They were blessed with an abnormal difficulty for Intel to get its 7nm process going, but that advantage will be gone as they compete with Intel for TSMC contracts on 7 and 5 nm.
AMD has grown to the point where there's not much else to grow into. They don't have nearly as diversified of a business as intel and so their avenues are more limited. Intel can go a dozen different directions.
Honestly though, just buy in equal quantites AMD, Nvidia, and Intel. That's basically 100% of the CPU, GPU, and datacenter market. Readjust as necessary to keep the ratios the same and you're guaranteed to be on top no matter who's going up at any given point in the semiconductor space.
