However,don't Intel and Nvidia both manufacture their chips, whereas AMD design them and licence the designs. Which I assumes at least partly accounts for the lower headcount?

AMD and Nvidia are both fabless manufacturers. They design but do not fabricate the chips. AMD used to, but spun out their fabs as GlobalFoundries. As you correctly noted, Intel is a foundry and does manufacture it's own chips.
