AMD CPU Market Share: Server CPUs Rise to Over 35% Sales Shares 14 Comments

With a quarter of all server processors shipped, AMD makes over 35% of sales with EPYC, meaning the more expensive models are very well received. With notebook chips, it’s always the opposite, more solutions are delivered here, but the share of sales is lower. At least.
As a rule, increasing the market shares of certain products is often simply achieved on the sales generated – which can also quickly ensure this. However, this is sometimes misleading and AMD is recently working to make it more transparent. Because then there is a very interesting picture, especially in the server area: Here the market shares after sales or quantities differ significantly.
Expensive Epycs are sold
AMD’s paragraph for server processors last quarter only climbed 1.6 percentage points and is now a 25.1% market share last quarter. At the same time, AMD was able to increase the proportion of more expensive solutions sold, so that the share of sales in the overall market increased to 35.5%.
And expensive ryzen in the office too
The latest high prices for new Ryzen processors on the desktop have also had a very positive effect on these separate statistics. A year ago, Ryzen’s office sales share was only 15.9%, in the last quarter of 2024 it increased to 27.3%. As a result, it is now almost equal as looking at the market share: 27.1%, which corresponds to an increase of a small 0.9 percentage points. The value is also record, Intel’s weakness in the office is increasingly paying off for AMD.

In the notebook, it rises, but remains low
In the notebook, AMD was always the hardest, but recently delivered a very good product with Strix Point, which also helps these stats. A year ago, AMD only had a 15% sales share in the notebook, since the third quarter it has continued to increase steadily and has already increased to 21.6%. However, market share has not yet been achieved in terms of quantities, in other words: competitors still sell the most expensive models on average. This year, however, AMD could also come here to regions where, at least as in the office, an impasse is reached.
The bottom line is that AMD can continue to use Intel’s weakness in the CPU segment. This should stick around again this year and probably provide a little more share here and there in AMD’s direction. As is known, the cards of both manufacturers are already on the table and only need to be played.
