AMD Pushes Highest x86 Market Share in History in 1Q2022

[rawadinozor]

Yea, and thats why many IT departments seem to always disagree with Corporate management.

This, i work in IT and i mantain our windoes azure pack environment, i compared amd epyc rome to intel and it was sig ificantly cheaper while faster so i convinced my managers to go for amd, since then i have ordered around 70-80 servers, i tried showing some colleagues real benchmark comparisons and explain that they could save a lot of money but some people are so ignorant, even if you confront them with facts they refuse to understand, but in the last year i noticed lots of teams in my company started ordering amd as well, adoption in enterprises takes time (apart from Facebook and the big ones) companies don't upgrade every year.
I can tell you my Dell R6515 run like a clock, i only had one server with faulty dimm and motherboard was replaced, that is it.
Hosting around 3k vms with no issues.

After 10 years of doing nothing (after taking over ATI) + 5 years of focusing on crypto currency and AMD has still 1/4 of the market! that is just being extremely lucky.

Great work, man. I hope more people are like you.

I don't understand the numbers here. 11.6% server, 18.3% desktop, 22.5% mobile, but 27.7% overall?

What is the fourth segment that makes up the difference, is it game consoles?

All these numbers are estimates. I judge by AMD's products, their execution, and their revenue and profits, basically. But "share" numbers? It's always an estimates game. Fact is that none of us know how these numbers are compiled, and what $$$ may be behind the posting of such numbers. Kind of like the Nielsen TV ratings in the US... Often I''ll see Intel IGPs compared to discrete GPU sales from AMD and nVidia--that sort of thing.

 

[ARF]

All these numbers are estimates.

As far as I understand, these numbers are not estimates but real numbers which show the shipments for the quarter. The share of the shipments during that period.

Yes, it's due to consoles.

 

[AusWolf]

VIA: 0%. Does that company still exist?

The breakdowns specifically mention ‘excluding IOT’. The top number is the entire x86 market (IOT and SOC).

Intel is outshipping amd.. amd will not surpass intel if they keep buying from one shop (tsmc)

 

[Bomby569]

AMD's gains are starting to decrease.

Intel is outshipping amd.. amd will not surpass intel if they keep buying from one shop (tsmc)

It's the only option they have. They should have invested in their own fabs years ago, this is where Intels advantage is, even if they are not doing so well atm it's the having them that is the big advantage. When they do get it sorted AMD will be in real trouble.

Well, I read that Raptor Lake will have higher IPC, higher clocks and more cores than the Zen 4 Raphael.
Raptor Lake: 24 cores (8 P and 16 E) / 32 threads;
Raphael: 16 cores (16 P) / 32 threads.

People even say that Zen 5 will be the last Zen because it is already an outdated micro-architecture, and AMD will eventually license ARM cores for Apple chiplets...

At least AMD improves Zen with every generation when Intel was just adding more cores and clocks to Skylake for years.

Well done ! That is great work to convince all these old Intel brainwashed people that AMD EPYC totally dominates in all areas. It has more cores, faster performance, more power efficient, far cheaper per performance , basically its just heaps better! That they refuse to even consider it a possibility, shows how bad it can be.
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!

I will quote myself. When they do get it sorted AMD will be in real trouble.

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.

We shall see, in time !

Do you not realise where Global Foundries came from?

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.

 

[medi01]

How could overall CPU share (27%) be higher than EVERY single CPU type market share? (highest was 22%, dekstop)

IF its not broke, dont fix it. Its more likely businesses that might switch over, will wait until their current servers are EOL or blown up dead. That speaks to Intel reliability even if it does cost more to keep them running.

There is something fishy about how major OEMs downplay AMD offerings (Dell doesn't have it at all).

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).

 

[ARF]

The overall (27%) includes something else which is not stated elsewhere.

 

[R-T-B]

You are confusing gpus and cpus.

It's stated right in it. IoT.

 

[medi01]

So, IoT eh? Wouldn't count it in, honestly, very misleading.

Kind of not clearly explained. It is not presented in the right way.

 

[Xaled]

No, I were talking about all/total profit of AMD, which CPUs are main part of.

Lots of reports of late have Intel pouring in billions of $$$$ into TSMC to get bucketloads of 3nm cpus and gpus . Dont say much for their superior fabs !
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 .

The point is, Intel HAVE FABS, AMD do not, how much would it cost for AMD to build them and get them running with qualified staff? Intel DO have an advantage even if they are not doing great with them atm. At some point they just might crack it and AMD will be in trouble.
