Title: AMD hits highest overall X86 market share in 13 years
Post by: Redaktion on November 04, 2020, 14:30:30
AMD's overall X86 market share at the and of Q3 2020 reached 22.4%. The desktop CPU market share is already higher than 20% and, with the launch of the Ryzen 5000 CPUs, it may quickly climb to new all-time-highs in the next few quarters. Thanks to the success recorded by the Renoir APUs, AMD's notebook market share also reached an all-time-high 20.2%, while the server sector is not doing that great with only 6.6% market share.

"AMD is not really shining in the server sector, however. Here, the market share has reached 6.6%, with 2.3% growth YoY."
So, a 53% increase in market share in the server space, compared to a 12% growth in desktops and 37% growth in laptops.

I would argue that AMD is shining in the server sector MORE than in the desktop and laptop sectors.

yeah, except they will not grow more thanks to them giving processors exclusively to OEMS (all those 4xxxG series cpus), giving them to stupid oems (good luck finding a solid Ryzen laptop without issues) and simply expecting the enthusiastic market to carry them with sales.

AMD showing no urgency to support Thunderbolt despite Intel practically giving it away or USB 4 also means those users will never choose AMD. Same for things like NVENC video encoding for H.264 and HEVC which after NVIDIA Turing has superb quality+amazing speed or apps which require GPGPU technologies like CUDA.
