AMD Grabs over 30% CPU Market Share as Intel Continues to Decline (wccftech.com)

Article summary

AMD has achieved a market share of 31.3% in the CPU segment, up from 28.5% in Q4 2021, while Intel's share has declined to 68.7%. This growth is attributed to AMD's EPYC CPUs. The overall CPU market has seen a decline in shipments, with a 34% yearly decline and a 19% quarterly drop. Despite this, AMD is expected to continue growing its market share, potentially driven by its strong roadmap in the server segment.

What commenters say

• AMD's growth in market share is a significant achievement, but its reliability and compatibility issues need to be addressed.
• The CPU market is shifting, with AMD gaining ground on Intel, but Intel's recent releases may help it regain market share.
• RISC-V is not a viable competitor to x86 due to its simplicity and lack of specialized instructions, but others argue it can be efficient and competitive.
• The overall compute market is changing, with the rise of mobile and embedded devices, and AMD and Intel's market share may not accurately reflect their position in the broader market.
• AMD's EPYC CPUs are driving its growth, but the company needs to improve its single-thread performance to remain competitive.
• The cost of AMD motherboards is a significant factor in the market, with some arguing that they are overpriced compared to Intel motherboards.
• The quality of components on motherboards can vary, but some argue that even high-end boards may not have significantly better components than budget options.
