Intel's Server Share Slips to 67% as AMD and Arm Widen the Gap

[Panther_Seraphin]

The new ceo

Not much he can do, his "impact" probably wont be felt for 3-4 years for most consumers due to the length of a processor design same with the likes of Kelly Ortberg. Its not something that can be changed overnight.

Just gotta hope there was something already in the pipeline that is promising.

Intel is the world's most abusive, monopolistic tech company.

Has it crossed your mind that maybe, just maybe, amd had crappy products? Why isn't the anticompetitive, anti consumer anti technology intel stopping them now, huh?

 

[Tek-Check]

AMD just released Grado Epyc processors on AM5 and the rumors say the chiplet count may double for Zen 6. So you could be getting 32C/64T Epycs on AM5 for under $1000 in 2026.

24+2/52T for Zen6 EPYC on AM5.

Watch the video. AMD had superior Athlon 64 that didn't sell, because criminal Intel.

The market landscape is different from how it used to be

Intel doesn't have the money to pull what they did during the Netburst days and they now face competition from CPU/GPU vendors other than AMD. x86 is still important, but it's not as big a deal as it used to be.

Nah, Netburst was infamously bad. Even the people at Intel didn't like it. They knew it was a hot, underperforming mess of a dead end.

AMD Athlon 64 4000+ & FX-55: A Thorough Investigation

Edit: added quote from p.138 of this interview with Robert Colwell, the guy who started Pentium 4 development

https://www.sigmicro.org/media/oralhistories/colwell.pdf

The last year I was there, I was not in the microprocessor group anymore, because I had parted company due of my disagreements and vision with the top brass, and I did not want to work on the follow-up to the Pentium 4 which eventually became Prescott. I didn't think it was going to be a great product, and going further down a path that I thought was technologically finished, a dead end. I wasn't willing to devote more years in my life to a cause I didn't believe in. So I bagged that, and I was reaching the conclusion that it was time to leave microprocessor group.

Im sure watching a video made by adored will be a surefire way to get to the truth. 100%.

 

[Tek-Check]

Back to the topic...
Any leaks pointing at how competitive Clearwater Forrest and Dianond Rapids are going to be against Zen6 Venice EPYCs?

If Intel doesn't stop this bleeding of market share in data center, they will soon come in far more challenging position than ever before.

 

[Vya Domus]

It's freaking nutty that there are those still buying Xeons?

"No one ever got fired for buying IBM" became a thing for a reason. People that are in charge of supplying businesses with servers choose Intel in order to avoid having to explain to some boomer why it doesn't say "Intel".

I've said this on other threads: this guy is a troll. He drinks his coffee out of a toilet bowl.

 

[blinnbanir]

No. He does say later in the article 63%.


Yes, on smaller 4710 socket. Plus, they slashed prices of 128 P core SKUs by as much as $5,000 per CPU, as reported by Tom's Hardware recently. That tells you how challenging situation is. Zen5 2P systems are up to 40% faster than equivalent Xeon6 system, while offering more competitive costs of ownership and more energy efficiency. Currently, EPYCs are more than one generation ahead of Xeons in performance, hence such big changes in server market share.

Ouch

How old are you?

You don't think Intel could control the market back in 2017 that ryzen launched, but they could in 2005?

CUDA (and GPGPU computing in general) didn't exist in '05 and ARM servers haven't taken off yet back then, among other things.

Missing out on new key markets caused them to have to do massive layoffs, such as this one from 2016

Intel, cutting 12,000 jobs, tries to bend the company without breaking it

The world's largest chipmaker said the company will notify most of those losing their jobs within the next 60 days.

The 10nm development woes they had then wasn't cheap to deal with either
