AMD’s CPUs are well received by the market. More and more customers are choosing a laptop, desktop or server with AMD inside at Intel’s expense.

In the third quarter of this year, AMD was able to increase its market share again. Mercury Research investigated this. 19.2 percent of the desktop market would have gone to AMD, 19.5 percent of the entire laptop market. In the lucrative server market, AMD now has a share of 23.3 percent with its Epyc servers, which compete with Intel’s Xeon Scalable series. The growth is reflected in good profits.

The growth is significant. In the server sector, AMD captured 4.7 percentage points more market share compared to the previous quarter and even 5.8 percentage points compared to the previous year. The server market is very lucrative, but also quite conservative when it comes to CPUs. The fact that AMD continues to grow rapidly there shows how well the Epyc processors are being received.

Laptops and desktops

The laptop market also saw growth of 2.9 percentage points compared to the last quarter and 3.8 percentage points compared to the previous year. Intel was able to build on good relationships with manufacturers for a long time and worked together to develop slim laptop designs. However, we are increasingly seeing that AMD’s chips are also finding their way into attractive premium devices.

In the desktop segment, the difference is smaller and AMD even loses 0.2 percentage points compared to the previous year. There’s still great year-over-year growth, as AMD was still stuck at 13.9 percent in the same quarter in 2022.

AMD is no longer a small player, although Intel continues to play in a different category in terms of market share. However, AMD continues to steadily reduce market share.
