AMD Desktop Processor Market Share Now at 18.3%: Mercury Research
Market intelligence firm Mercury Research published its findings on the x86 processor market towards the end of 2019, in which AMD has posted growth in all segments (not counting IoT or semi-custom). AMD held 18.3 percent of the desktop x86 processor market, according to the report. a 5-year high. The company's EPYC line of server processors face a more uphill battle against enterprises' entrenched brand loyalties to Intel. The company holds 4.5 percent of the server processor market, but growing 0.2 percent points versus the previous quarter, and 1.4 percentage points vs. the previous year. The last time AMD held such a market share in the server x86 processor market was in Q3-2013.
AMD's mobile processor market share may come as a surprise to some. According to Mercury Research, the company holds 16.2 percent of the mobile x86 processor market, which is almost as much as its desktop market. This is probably propelled by the popularity of AMD APUs and low-power CPUs in the cost-effective notebook market segments. AMD is now eyeing higher market segments with its Ryzen 4000 "Renoir" processors that make landfall this year. AMD is growing faster in the mobile space than desktop, with 1.5 percentage points growth in just Q4, and 4 percentage points year-over-year. AMD's mobile market share was this high back in Q2-2013. Mercury Research pins AMD's overall hold over the x86 market at 15.5%, averaged on all segments, minus semi-custom and IoT.

But over at the HEDT section, the price difference between a 9980XE and 10980XE is about 50%.
What you don't seem to understand is that while AMD's ~20% market is relatively low compared to Intel, the big factor to consider is that AMD has momentum on their side. AMD is steadily eating away at Intel's lead and Intel has no real answers at the moment other than to weather the storm by regurgitating recycled products on 14nm++++++++++++++++++++ until they get their act together.
And hopefully they don't try and manipulate OEMs like in the past which they got sued for Billions in damages. Just because they wanted to squeeze out the competition, because Innovating was too expensive for Intel and they did not want to dip into their profits to pay for innovation. lol
Hopefully AMD continues to gain more aggressive momentum so they can secure as much market share as possible. I can see 10% to 12% Server market share by the end of 2020. I can also see that 18.3% double by the end of 2020. If ZEN 3 ends up being faster in PC gaming indefinitely, they will conquer the multi-billion dollar desktop gaming industry by storm. Because the one slight card Intel holds over AMD is gaming, they have a slight performance edge. Intel loses that and they are finished.
Your thoughts are irrational and make no sense. You want monopoly game and that alone implies 1 of 2 things.
you choose:
1. Your brain is toast
2. You are getting paid by Intel to spread this kind of talk
If that is not monopoly you are asking for then I don't know what is.
Nobody wants a monopoly - everyone wants competition which is exactly what AMD is bringing. It is only you who thinks people want a monopoly when that is clearly wrong.
Growing market share in CPUs takes time. It is unrealistic to think AMD should be close to 50% after 3 years of Zen.
Considering where AMD was with the market share and where is it now, it is getting traction. I wouldn't judge the company capabilities and partners demands buy sheer number. This is growing and the share market will not change within a short time. We need to observe it because it will grow.
"No, its great, momentum etc"
/thread.
:lovetpu:
Unless somebody has a DeLorean to tell us what it ended up like, please, drop this sadness
At current trends, 25% by 2022 is realistic.
So what is your take on it? Is it a good market share or bad? Considering what AMD has had for a few years back. Since you are on Mars, you may have a better look from up there what's going on on Earth :P (and another one)
You know that you can’t convince any experienced and informed user but that is not your goal and target with all that crazy you’re spreading.
Total distortion of truth and facts cannot alter reality no matter how hard you try. Keep that in mind!Are you kidding?
momentum, is “determined” by past events and facts not future....
Future failure is “estimated” by past events and facts....
And so far AMD has done a lot disrupting on Intel and nVidia and gain a lot the past 3 years. Only blind cannot see this.
Though disrupting Nvidia... don't get me started please. Where?! By giving them the market?
And I didn’t harp on about anything... you said what you said about momentum/failure and I had to respond.
I apologize if Ididnt understand fully your spirit, I am from a whole other country....That is only you idea and not the truth....

Wccftech refers a transcript of an interview available on Seeking Alpha:

so the 7% figure comes from AMD - no one knows how they got it or how to use it.
Mercury Research provides comparable figures from multiple sales periods. They're also a fairly respected source.
So when AMD tells you 7% and MR says 4.5%, it may be wiser to believe the latter. But in the end it's just a statistic based on some sample - they're both wrong.

The important part is the growth observed in MR's results. It's below expectations.
And don't count on Intel for innovation as they rather overprice there products and not tap into profits to innovate.Who pushed real innovation into CPU's? AMD
Who's been leading the processor industry in innovation & technology for 30+ years? AMD
Where AMD leads, Intel follows, and they've been following AMD for many many years.
If for example Intel was the only CPU producer, this industry would be in major trouble, and we would get recycled garbage CPUs with 1% IPC increase if we are lucky.
If you don't think a couple $ billion dollars in sales is that big, then you have issues my friend :D :eek::laugh:
I think most people understand that but this is a topic that is quite interesting, showing some changes in the mainstream processors market and this is a forum. It would be nice to get some opinions and insights from others. Discuss stuff and maybe learn something or look at things with a different perspective. The problem is: there aren't many trolls around but they are located in a way you meet them around every corner. Bummer huh?
