Innovation Spending: A Tale of Two Tech Giants

In the ever-evolving world of technology, innovation is the lifeblood that fuels growth and competitiveness. Over the past decade, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) and ON Semiconductor Corporation have demonstrated contrasting approaches to research and development (R&D) spending.

From 2014 to 2023, AMD's R&D expenses surged by over 448%, reflecting its aggressive push to capture market share in the semiconductor industry. In 2023 alone, AMD allocated nearly 10 times more to R&D than ON Semiconductor, underscoring its commitment to innovation. Meanwhile, ON Semiconductor's R&D spending remained relatively stable, with a modest increase of about 58% over the same period.

This divergence highlights AMD's strategy to outpace competitors through substantial investment in cutting-edge technologies, while ON Semiconductor opts for a more conservative approach, focusing on steady, incremental advancements. As the tech landscape continues to shift, these strategies will shape the future of both companies.
