AMD Gains CPU Market Share Against Intel
According to data from Mercury Research posted on Twitter, AMD has gained CPU market share against Intel over the past year. AMD has gone from a 27.7 percent market share in Q1 2022 to a 34.6 percent market share in the first quarter of 2023, which is an increase of 6.9 percent, whereas Intel has gone from 72.3 percent to 65.4 percent, still placing Intel at almost two thirds of the market of x86 CPUs. It should be noted that this includes all types of CPUs, but it's unclear if it includes the chips AMD sells to Microsoft and Sony for their respective consoles.
A separate screenshot posted by @firstadopter details server CPU market share, excluding IoT, although it's unclear what that means in this specific case. Here, AMD has gained 6.3 percent market share, but the company has only gone from a meager 11.6 percent last year, to 18 percent this year, with Intel holding a massive 82 percent market share. AMD's gain here was lower than overall, but it shows that larger corporations are starting to adopt more and more AMD hardware on the server side, where in all fairness, AMD has taken something of a lead over Intel when it comes to the maximum amount of CPU cores each company can offer, even though the per core performance still lags behind Intel to a degree. It'll be interesting to see if AMD can maintain its momentum in market share gain once Intel launches more competitive products later this year, especially in the server market space.

It's really good to see AMD back.
Yet they still can't get rid of Intel inertia.
Meanwhile in normal desktop space the Raptor Lake is really competitive even if it does use a lot of power in multicore workloads.
AMD say: "Undershipping"
Intel say: "Inventory Adjustments May Be Having a Bigger Negative Impact Than Reduced Sales"
Sit down and take popcorn.
There are companies that are testing AMD hardware, who might make the leap in the next couple years. But for now, the server market is still very much Intel's playground.
You know, Asus writing in fine print of Bios they encourage you to upgrade to that you don't actually have a warranty? Or that you shouldn't use EXPO (AMD version of XMP), because that's overclocking and voids warranty, while ALL the reviews are done with EXPO?
Intel's server market is partly captured using very low prices, hence low margins and negative operating margin this quarter.
it is a extra you get for free, but using it would yield your warranty because it's running a product outside of it's designed or rated spec.
This is'nt AMD fault - if i'm correct some motherboards screwed this over by burning the SOC.
A car engine is the very same. It runs to comply with not just laws but also emissions. Once you start removing those things and free her up, you get free horsepower. However the warranty for the engine is gone.
But no, I think the correct comparison here would be a car company denying you warranty "because you drove your car in fifth gear". A feature that manufacturer advertises as a basic spec of a product, and that is used in all the tests and reviews of the product - not some back alley aftermarket tune-up. And then they tell you it's an enthusiast, pushing the limits of a product feature, and they're not liable if it breaks your product.

Ultrabooks don't need dedicated RTX graphics since with RDNA 3 you can play AAA and render 3D and videos.
Well intel with me do not count to buy a 13th Gen whose Graphics Xe has not been updated in 4 years
