AMD Hits Highest x86 CPU Market Share Since 2013 – Mobility Sees Huge Share Gains, Ryzen Desktop & EPYC Server Steadily Climb-April 2024

The latest AMD market share statistics from Mercury Research have been released and according to them, the red team has just secured its highest x86 CPU market share since 2013. This marks a major win for AMD in its continued journey with the Zen family of processors, reaching for newer heights with each successive generation of Ryzen and EPYC CPUs.

AMD Secures Its Highest x86 CPU Market Share Since 2013 - EPYC Server & Ryzen Desktop Helped But Ryzen Mobility Dominated

The results for the second quarter of 2020 were reported by Mercury Research (via Tomshardware) and they paint a very positive picture for AMD's entire x86 segments. During the second quarter of 2020, AMD hit an x86 CPU market share of 18.3% which is the highest since 2013 (Q4). AMD also hit an all-time high for its mobility CPU market share thanks to the newly launched Ryzen 4000 Renoir line which has been received very positively by the tech community and consumers alike.

Also, one thing to keep in mind is that the numbers shared by Mercury Research may look slightly different than the ones reported by AMD themselves. For example, the numbers that AMD uses for its presentations are based on IDC's data for the server segment which only addresses the 1P & 2P servers whereas Mercury Research covers the entire x86 segment which includes 4S, 8S, and edge servers, hence we see a bigger divide in terms of market share numbers from the two independent firms.

Mercury Research captures all x86 server class processors in their server unit estimate, regardless of device (server, network or storage), whereas the estimated 1P [single-socket] and 2P [two-socket] TAM [Total Addressable Market] provided by IDC only includes traditional servers. - AMD

It still means that AMD is capturing the server market share in those two categories (1P / 2P) versus Intel and gaining some ground in the specific segment. With that said, let's take a closer look at the latest market share results per segment and how they fare against Intel for the first half of the year (2020).
