AMD Pushes Highest x86 Market Share in History in 1Q2022
AMD has been on a roll ever since it launched its first generation Zen core, which brought a much-needed performance and efficiency boost that finally brought a level of competitiveness against Intel's offerings. Years of iterations and design improvements have only increased AMD's value proposition towards consumers and businesses. A testament to that fact is that AMD in Q1 2022 hit its largest market share in history.
According to market analysis firm Mercury Research, AMD's offerings have continued to claw back market share from Intel, despite its strong recovery in performance and efficiency metrics following the debut of the 12th Gen Intel CPU family, Alder Lake. The firm places AMD's overall x86 market share for 1Q 2022 (including IoT and SoCs such as the ones found in the latest gaming consoles) at a record-breaking 27.7%, up 2.1% QoQ and a staggering 7% YoY. The server side of the equation has seen less stellar gains, but still increased by 0.9% QoQ, and 2.7% YoY, achieving a high of 11.6% share against Intel's decades-long market stranglehold.
AMD's desktop CPU share did take a small hit compared to last year, according to the publication. Likely caused by Intel's market and technological resurgence with Alder Lake, AMD still achieved a 2.1% market share increase QoQ, placing it within 1% of its 1Q2021 high of 19.3% market share. Mobile has seen the seocnd largest increase in AMD's market share, with the company achieving a 0.9% increase QoQ (up to 22.5% share) and a significant 4.4% increase YoY.

Totally ignorant and biased. Unfortunately there are a lot of people like that!The irony on that is you are admitting Intel is struggling with their fabs! How do they fix that? Use their direct rivals better fabs (TSMC) and starve out their main competition (AMD) and tell everyone how good they will be in 3 years time when their fabs are as good as the ones they are using from their main rival (TSMC).
Looks kinda silly when you think about it!
. .
They are doing better than AMDs fabs are they not? Intel has them, that IS their advantage. As i have said eons ago, imo they are using TSMC as a stop gap till they get their own processes sorted otherwise why would they pour money into buying from TSMC? Intel will get it sorted at some point, there is no doubt about that.
AMD had its own fabs same as intel. But it was Broke and it was just about to release Bulldozer. So it solds its fabs to keep itself afloat. If it didnt we would all be running intel processors only with Quad cores still ruling the roost as their top end offerings.
DIY market is only about 16% of the CPU market, as far as I remember.
Curiously, on the server side of things, clouds in particular, things got moving.
Azure, for instance, is a big deal, they nearly match AWS at market share (and keep growing).
Its all about they will be better blah blah blah in 3 years time. Well come back when it is!
I'm sick to death of hearing how they will be good then, in 3 years time or what ever.
Alder Lake is good, brag all you want, the rest of it SHUT UP its all BS .
But alas the US government would never let them fail aka GM, cos they are too big and it would ruin the country especially given the current world climate with Putins War!
