AMD vs Intel: which one to buy? — what our data shows
⚡ TradesZ research ·Updated June 23, 2026 ·~2 min read ·Grounded in SEC data
AMD and Intel are both chip makers riding the AI wave, and some of the same big-name investors own both — but when you dig into the data, one picture looks a bit clearer than the other.
What our data shows
A whopping 53 major investment funds — including household names like Berkshire Hathaway — have reported owning AMD, which is a strong sign that the 'smart money' crowd is broadly betting on this company's future in AI chips.
🐋 13F · 53AI compute
Intel is held by well-known funds like Berkshire Hathaway, but our data doesn't show the same wide count of fund filings as AMD, meaning fewer big investors have publicly staked a claim here — though there are no red flags either.

The takeaway
⚪Neutral
AMD shows up in more fund portfolios by count, which suggests broader institutional confidence right now, while Intel has similar big-name backers but less breadth — so the data points to AMD having a wider vote of confidence, even if neither stock carries any warning signs.
But watch out
Smart-money signals lag the market (13F filings ~45 days) and never guarantee direction — always check the latest price and news yourself.
