AMD Hits Highest-Ever x86 CPU Market Share in Q1 2024 Across Desktop and Server
AMD has reached a significant milestone, capturing a record-high share of the X86 CPU market in the first quarter of 2024, according to the latest report from Mercury Research. This achievement marks a significant step forward for the chipmaker in its long battle against rival Intel's dominance in the crucial computer processor space. The surge was fueled by strong demand for AMD's Ryzen and EPYC processors across consumer and enterprise markets. The Ryzen lineup's compelling price-to-performance ratio has struck a chord with gamers, content creators, and businesses seeking cost-effective computing power without sacrificing capabilities. It secured AMD's 23.9% share, an increase from the previous Q4 of 2023, which has seen a 19.8% market share.
The company has also made major inroads on the data center front with its EPYC server CPUs. AMD's ability to supply capable yet affordable processors has enabled cloud providers and enterprises to scale operations on AMD's platform. Several leading tech giants have embraced EPYC, contributing to AMD's surging server market footprint. Now, it is at 23.6%, a significant increase over the past few years, whereas AMD was just above 10% four years ago in 2020. AMD lost some share to Intel on the mobile PC front due to the Meteor Lake ramp, but it managed to gain a small percentage of the market share of client PCs. As AMD rides the momentum into the second half of 2024, all eyes will be on whether the chipmaker can sustain this trajectory and potentially claim an even larger slice of the x86 CPU pie from Intel in the coming quarters.

And it's sad, because everyone needs a strong constant competition, in both CPUs/silicon, and foundries. Because they all do great stuff, only when pushed to the wall and trying to compete. I don't mean leapfrogging, but rather when both, or multiple rivals get equally good product lines.
The best way is to split the foundries to separate entity, so thecitizen and governmets can be sure, the funds reach the destination, instead of becoming sediment in the corporate pockets. And other fabless companie would be more prone to use these fabs, as there would be less incentive for intel to "share" the third party IP and design with own products.
Would be nice to see a 30-year chart.
I think that sufficient because these market or community tends to shout louder :D
Around 20 years of data up to 2021
I am glad to see that AMD is picking up market share. Intel needs to really take advantage of their Foveros technology ASAP to try and get a technological lead over AMD again.Its actually more the bean counters. You could pickup Hp/Dell/Lenovos with Intels for cheaper than the "equivalent" AMD for a long time.
IT: "But AMDs have better battery life"
Beancounter: "Most people use them plugged in the office and the Intel ones are $/£30-50 cheaper a unit"
IT: "But AMDs are a better choice"
Beancounter: "It is 5-6 figures extra to replace our fleet with AMD vs Intel, you somehow justify that 6 figure difference in productivty etc then we will consider it, otherwise Intel it is"
Please do elaborate and provide facts on your prior argument that Intel is more stable and reliable. Let's see the basis for such a statement instead of more fallacies.
Even when locked to 253W, current Intel CPUs are not able to beat Ryzen in gaming and barely match or lead a few percentages ahead of 79050X3D in MT workloads, while X3D chip uses TWICE as little power.They do not need to, as RT is not that important for majority of users, especially on weaker class 60 cards, which is majority of the market.Of course, says The Saruman.True, but this is gradually changing. Intel already has below 70%, as Apple also took away ~10%. And now, Qualcomm is coming in. They might take ~5% in next couple of years. I would not be surprised if Intel drops to 50% in laptop segment before 2030.Both metrics are used by different market research companies.True that. ARM has ~10% of laptop market, mostly thanks to Apple. So, there is 90% to share between Intel and AMD.Yes, and increasing number of OEMs are fed-up with software issues and performance on Meteor Lake laptops.
That's why Lisa Su was able to announce that there be more than 150 new laptop designs with Strix Point later on this year.Read the news. TMSC has received the second grant from the US government to build another fab in the US.This is definitively not the case in European markets. There is far greater awareness of the quality of Zen products.And what is your purpose in this thread? Do enlighten us.
I think this data might not be complete and fully accurate, there is no way AMD is still lagging 40% behind Intel in the desktop space, all of the big online retailers have Ryzen processors in the top 10 bestsellers
Thermalright LGA1700-BCF black 12/13/14 generation Intel anti-bending fastenerThis is slowly changing, as there is increasing number of bulk orders by corps from Lenovo and others. Several US government and civil servant institutions have ordered AMD laptops, as those can survice entire working day without carrying charger around.
TSMC has put 40 Billion dollars into their Arizona operation for 2 operation Fabs with one of them only coming online in 2027. AMD would have to spend their next decades INCOME to even match that let alone their profits.
- the second place is...i3-12100. A flagship Intel in the Netherlands.
- in the top 20, there are only 6 Intel CPUs, two 14th Gen (i5, i7) and three from 12th Gen (i5, i5, i7). None from 13th Gen. No single i9...
- in the top 20, there are 6 Zen4 CPUs, including several R9, both vanilla and X3D
Thank you very much. Give us some more screenshots from Amazon, but think about it first before you post it.He has none. But Intel does have a lot of instability issues in recent months... We are eagerly waiting for the outcomes of their official and global invetigation into this issue.
