AMD continues to strengthen its position in the processor market, gradually gaining share from Intel, especially in the data center segment, although Intel still retains the lead in the client sector.
Competition between processor giants
Intel's dominance in the market
Despite Due to financial difficulties, Intel continues to hold a large share of the global processor market. The company's products for personal computers, mobile devices and servers occupy more than 70% of the market share. However, AMD is gradually eroding this dominance, like a drop wearing away a stone.
AMD's successes in the server segment
According to the latest analysis from Mercury Research, AMD is making significant gains in data center processors, while Intel maintains leadership in the consumer segment. Statistics show that AMD is slowly but surely gaining market share from Intel, with server processors being the fastest-growing category for the company. Over the past year, AMD managed to take 5.6% of the market share from Intel, showing a trend of quarterly growth of about 1%.
Fight for the server market
Although AMD is improving its position in the server segment, Intel still dominates the industry with a 75.9% market share. However, the situation is where Intel leads in sales volumes, and AMD makes significant profits from its expensive artificial intelligence accelerators. In the second quarter, both companies earned approximately the same amount from sales of server processors - about $3 billion. However, Intel controls a much larger share of the market to generate the same income. AMD said its MI300 accelerators generated $1 billion in revenue faster than any other product in the company's history, and sales of its server chips grew an impressive 115% last year.
Situation in the consumer segment
In the client segment, AMD's progress was less rapid. Looking at all consumer processors, including desktop and mobile chips, AMD increased its market share by 3.8% year-over-year to 21.1%, while Intel held 78.9%. .
Looking at categories individually, AMD lost 1% of the desktop processor market share in the second quarter, leaving Intel with 77% of the market. However, the company's sales in this segment still increased by 3.6% compared to last year. When it comes to laptop processors, AMD now controls 20.3% of the market, up 3.8% from last year. Accordingly, Intel occupies 79.7% of the mobile processor market.

I wonder how long Intel can maintain its leadership in the processor market? AMD is clearly not giving up and continues to increase momentum 🤔
Helga
Federico, I think Intel will stay afloat for a long time. They have a wealth of experience and resources. But competition from AMD definitely makes them move and develop faster 💪
Pierre
I agree with Helga. Competition is always good for consumers. We get more powerful and efficient processors at lower prices. I recently bought myself a laptop with AMD Ryzen, I’m very pleased with the performance! 👍
Sofia
And I'm impressed by AMD's progress in the data center space. 5.6% per year is serious growth! I wonder how this will affect the development of cloud technologies and AI? 🤖☁️
Klaus
Blah blah blah, another hype around processors. My old Intel Pentium PC still handles everything perfectly. Why this constant race for new products?
Olivia
Klaus, technology does not stand still! Modern tasks require more powerful processors. This is especially true when working with graphics, video and AI. By the way, AMD copes well with these tasks 😊
Federico
Olivia is right. I recently upgraded my work PC to AMD Ryzen and the difference in processing speed is amazing! Especially noticeable when working with large data sets and machine learning 🚀
Aleksander
But I think that Intel and AMD will face serious competition from ARM processors in the future. Especially in the mobile segment and energy-efficient solutions. What do you think?
