AMD Gains Further x86 Processor Market Share

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 02/06/2020 09:41 AM | source: | 29 comment(s)

Mercury Research just released, their Q4 2019 x86 Processor Report, which once again demonstrates that AMD’s growth continues with the company gaining further traction in all three of the key x86 segments – notebook, desktop and server - with nine consecutive quarters of growth in notebook and desktop.

AMD-powered laptops from major OEMs increased by 50 percent in 2019, helping to drive AMD notebook share, excluding IoT, up 1.5 share points quarter over quarter, and up 4 share points year over year, hitting 16.2%.

Thanks to the strength of powerful new processors launched in Q4, like the Ryzen 9 3950X and the 3rd generation Threadripper family, desktop, excluding IoT, also increased, with AMD share moving up 0.3 share points quarter over quarter, and 2.4 share points year over year, hitting 18.3%.
The ramp of 2nd generation EPYC processors, launched mid-2019, has been significantly faster than 1st generation, thanks to performance and TCO advantages over the competition. This in turn has helped drive share gains for AMD server, excluding IoT, of 0.2 share points quarter over quarter, and 1.4 share points year over year, hitting 4.5%.

Exiting Q4 2019, AMD has established a very competitive product portfolio across all three major segments, placing it in a strong position for 2020.

AMD Share by Segment	Q4 2019	Share		Last quarter AMD share this high
		Change (points)		Last quarter AMD share this high
	Share	Quarter	Year	Quarter
Server excl. IoT	4.5%	0.2	1.4	Q3 2013
Desktop excl. IoT	18.3%	0.3	2.4	Q3 2014
Mobile excl. IoT	16.2%	1.5	4.0	Q2 2013
Client excl. IoT	17.0%	1.1	3.5	Q3 2013
Overall x86 Share less Semi & IoT	15.5%	0.9	3.2	Q4 2013

Finally starting to see laptops with Ryzen 5 CPU in them. Very refreshing coming from last year where all laptops I saw had Intel CPUs.

Hopefully lower price of AMD counterparts will attract more vendors and consumers.

And here we hear Intel fanboys talking about shady tactics of AMD who sells knowledge to China or they are out of vulnerabilities hunting because they are ignored. Jealously much? :rolleyes:

I want a Ryzen ThinkPad with improved Vega or Navi as GPU.
It will be a dream to have it running Linux and be my main portable workstation.
As soon as I can afford will chip in some money in a piggy bank for this year's Black Friday.

Those percentages are still actually quite low and the point increases very modest. I guess it's no lie Intel can sell everything it manages to manufacture.
