Although the current CPU sales market is in recession and suffering the biggest drop in 30 years, with a drop of 34% compared to last year, AMD continues to claw market share from Intel continuing the trend of recent years that began with the advent of Zen architecture.
According to the latest report from the analysis firm Mercury Research, which is collected in Reuters, AMD already has a 31.3% share of the global processor market (adding consumer CPUs and servers), while Intel drops to 68.7%. Even so, although AMD continues to gain share, it is still far from Intel’s dominance in the sector.
In any case, the recent results of both companies show that the general decline in sales has been much harder for Intel, which has been forced to cut costs and salaries for its employees, while AMD has exceeded expectations despite the overall situation.
Much of the “blame” for these results lies on the server side, where AMD EPYC chips have gained popularity in recent years while Intel has failed to come back with its Xeons. The arrival of Sapphire Rapids could be a turning point, but at the moment it is too early to see the results.
