AMD Takes Good CPU Share from Intel in Q2 2017
According to a report from PassMark, AMD increased its market share: the company’s percentage last quarter was 18%, but now it is sitting at 24%. This is supposedly AMD’s largest single quarter share gain in history: Ryzen may be the company’s most successful product launch ever
This graph showing AMD and Intel market share is made up of thousands of PerformanceTest benchmark results and is updated daily. In Q1 2017 Intel’s market share according to the Passmark graph shows 81.90% total while AMD has 18%. A snapshot taken on July 2 however, shows the Intel share drop to 76% while AMD rose to 24%.
Small note, passmarks says very little about sales really and I feel it an indicator, nothing more. And the end users that actually us it is just small.
- his graph counts the baselines submitted to us during these time period and therefore is representative of CPUs in use rather than CPUs purchased.
- The Quarters are by the calendar year rather than financial. (i.e. Q1 starts January 1st)
- Baselines can be submitted from anywhere therefore these are global statistics.
- We do receive a small number of submissions of CPU types other than AMD and Intel however the percentage is so small as to make it not worth graphing. This combined with rounding off the percentages to 2 decimal places will account for each quarter not always adding up to exactly 100%.
- This chart only includes x86 processors and does not include other chip architectures these manufacturers may sell.
- This chart only includes CPUs installed into PCs and does not include game consoles.
- As the PerformanceTest software only runs on Windows OS and counts on user submitting their benchmarks. This chart may be non reflective of non Windows user base.

We already learned about this last week, the good news is that the number of layoffs is smaller then expected, the bad news .. it's still a lot. All those poor people. AMD announced a third-quarter net loss of $157 million, or 21 cents per share, on revenue of $1.27 billion. This compares to a profit of $

Where does 10.4% come from?
If they had 20.6% and now have 24%, then they gained only 3.4% (from their side) or 3.4% (which Intel lost), so it is 3.4% max....
UPDATE: Disregard, looks like the article got updated with new numbers (my comment above was based on some previous version).
Regardless, these "market" share numbers don't truly reflect reality (but I admit they are uselful indicators).
Kudos to AMD.

That is simply outstanding news. A big well done to AMD. About time some real competition for Intel. Intel really needed a quick in the butt for these past few years. Such incremental changes in development.
Now if only Vega could some how bring a miracle to the table. But alas, most of AMD's R&D has gone to RyZen and the CPU side of things. Still this is a fantastic way for AMD to get back into the red. Who knows, but the future is looking much brighter for us the consumer. Finally some good choices.

I hope AMD can keep innovating with Zen and Navi is not the fail Vega is turning out to be.
We, as consumers, need the old days of 2004/06 competition.

It was a data blip before the days average took hold.

Yay for AMD, but don't rest on your laurels.
