But you're definitely correct in terms of where the growth will be. However I would still love to see AMD gain some server market share since that trickles down to people like me who do distributed computing like F@H and WCG.

That's not true. They are getting to the point where heat and size a desktop is no longer needed. As development continues things will get smaller/cooler. Why have a desktop when a tablet will have the same horse power?
The desktop market has not only gone stagnant. Its shrunk and its a trend that's gonna continue.
