I was using 2019 numbers rather than last 4 quarters. I also talked about revenue and profit, not operating anything.

AMD 2019 Revenue: $6.73b [1] NVIDIA 2019 Revenue: $11.72b [2]

Roughly half, as I said.

AMD 2019 Profit (as earnings per share): $0.30 [1] NVIDIA 2019 Profit (as earnings per share): $6.63 [2]

4.52%, rounds to 5%, as I said.

However, you still proved my point. Lightweight or not, they do not, and have not had the amount of money available compared to NVidia and Intel. It's growing, they'll be able to continue to invest, and they have an advantage in the CPU space that should last for another year or two, giving them a great influx of cash, and their focus on Zen 2 really paid off allowing them greater cash flow to focus on GPUs as well.
