AMD Desktop processor Market Share rises to 13%
Or should we say Ryzes? AMD gained market share in the x86-cpu sector in the third quarter of 2018. A new report from Mercury Research states that the company now owns 13 percent of the desktop market.
With an average of 10.6 percent across the server , desktop and notebook sectors, growth was 1.5 percentage points relative to the previous quarter and 3.1 percentage points year-over-year. The manufacturer is particularly strong in the segment of what we all love so much, the desktop PCs, where the market share increased from 12.2 to 13.0 percent. In the third quarter of 2017, the value was still 10.9 percent.
Also growing is the share of notebook processors that AMD put in 10.9 percent of the cases in the past quarter, according to the study. The growth to the previous quarter is therefore 2.1 percentage points, compared to the previous year, AMD even increases the share by 4.1 percentage points. Responsible according to AMD and the analysts is the growing use of Ryzen processors.

The market would be a lot healthier if it all was 50% Intel - 50% AMD, that just is not the reality. Market share takes a lot of time in numbers to change, but even 1% is big in terms of an actual substantial shift. Remember Intel has a monopolized stronghold in all channels. Also, you need to realize that joe average that walks into a store has no idea as to who AMD really is and what their product can mean for them. It'll take time to build up a strong position, and thus market share.

*obnoxious exasperated groan*
On a serious note, those are some pretty promising numbers. If Zen 2 manages to fix (or at least minimize) AMD's latency issue, and, if it can achieve higher clocks, that might be all it takes for them to get them closer to 25%.

It is only a year and a half since Ryzen launched. I think anyone would have hoped for a bit more than 10.6 average and 13 in desktop; the big deal is it is growth, not the steady decline AMD was on before. If they add another 3 percent next year with R2, then 4 percent the year after in 2021 we quickly see 1 in 5 desktops running AMD. Even that 10% has already been enough to push Intel to release products that had been ready in wait for years.
