AMD has witnessed its largest server market share jump with its EPYC CPUs in Q1 2021. In data published by Mercury Research (via CRN), it is reported that the chipmaker saw its largest share increase against Intel since 2006.

AMD EPYC Server CPU Market Share Races Ahead, Witnesses Largest Gain Against Intel Since 2006

It is reported by the research company that AMD's server CPU share which comprises its EPYC business grew 1.8 points to 8.9 percent during the previous quarter. The market share was 3.8 points higher than Q1 2020 which shows the demand for EPYC CPUs in the data center segment.

The president of Mercury Research, Dean McCarron, went on to tell CRN that the Q1 2021 market share growth is the fastest since Q2 2006, back when Opteron was still competitive and giving Intel a tough time in the server segment. AMD did claim that it had hit double-digit server market share last year but it is pointed out that those were only specific to single and dual-socket servers which tend to be AMD's primary focus and don't include servers for network and storage.

“This explains how AMD reported in its earnings that it had record server and client revenues, even though units were down in client and server units are far from the company’s record shipments of 15 years ago,” he said in an email to CRN.
