That other processor company is gaining ground, says Mercury Research
Intel continues to rule the roost in the PC chip market, but AMD is gaining ground in server, desktop, and mobile, according to the latest figures from Mercury Research.
In fact, Q1 of this year was the first quarter since the COVID pandemic started that market results have been pretty much normal across desktop, mobile, and server, the company noted. The market dynamics shift slightly when including IoT and system-on-chip figures as AMD was hit by dramatically lower SoC shipments caused by decreased gaming console demand, according to Mercury. While its share of the overall market was 26.1 percent during Q1, that was actually down from 34.6 percent a year ago.
Cutting to the chase, AMD saw its server chip share rise to 23.6 percent, up from just 18 percent a year ago, and Mercury says it is apparent that Genoa, AMD's 4th Gen Epyc processor family, is the main driver of growth here.The client CPU segment was a microcosm of the overall market, with Intel taking 79.4 percent share during Q1 and AMD 20.6 percent, with AMD up about 3.5 percentage points on last year.
