Moreover, AMD has been\"very disciplined\"with its R&D spending as we could see LTM R&D margin going down as a percentage of revenue from 24% in Q1'19 to 18.8% in Q1'21, and all this while gaining market share against INTC.</p>\n<p>Against this backdrop, INTC's R&D margin has remained consistent as it continued to spend between 19.5% and 20.7% of its revenue over the same period.
