AMD Could take Back 30% of the Processor Market

AMD Could take Back 30% of the Processor Market

Good times for AMD. Intel is under a lot of scrutinies lately, scandals with their top-tier staff, issues with 14nm production, delays at 10nm and vulnerabilities are only a few of them. Meanwhile, AMD has picked up the pace and simply put very competitive and affordable processors on the market with Ryzen. 

AMD does not seem to suffer from production issues and vulnerabilities, which haunts Intel quite a bit, still. These factors have an effect on overall sales for sure, the motherboard partners notice this and are ramping up as the demand for Ryzen is on the ryze. In a new report, Digitimes now projects that AMD could take back 30% of processor sales in Q4 next year already. And knowing where AMD came from, that's a pretty significant piece of the pie (and good news for them).

Desktop and motherboard vendors including Asustek Computer, Micro-Star International (MSI), Gigabyte Technology and ASRock have ramped up production and shipments of devices fitted with AMD processors, driving up the chipmaker's share of the desktop processor market to over 20% in the third quarter. The company is very likely to see the figure further rebound to the level of 30% again.

In terms of server processor market, AMD's EPYC 7000 series processors have been well adopted by Mellanox and Samsung Electronics since their launch in June 2017, and the firm's expanded EPYC series have also won robust support from heavyweight clients including Microsoft, Baidu, Dell, HP and Supermicro, as well as Taiwan's Inventec, Wistron, Asustek, and Gigabyte. It is expected that the EPYC series sever processors will help AMD win a 5% share of the global x86 server platform market by the end of 2018, which has been 99% controlled by Intel. AMD's latest EPYC processor, codenamed Rome and adopting Zen2 architecture, is slated for volume production in 2019 using 7nm process at TSMC after the delivery of samplings by the end of 2018.

That would truly be something. I'm really holding out for RyZen 2 to change out my 6900k.

Great news, keep it up AMD.

You don't need an upgrade unless its work related.

It's a good thing, it's competition. I don't think the latest Intel CPUs would have been priced half-way decently if it hadn't been for AMD's "come back" with Ryzen (first gen; and then more so with 2nd gen). I mean, Intel CPU prices are still too much (in my opinion) but it's currently lower than it would have been otherwise. I've been using Intel CPUs since... practically forever (well except back during the AMD Athlon days, when I did buy an Athlon 64). But last year in October I got my Ryzen 5 1600, a B350 Mobo and 16GB of RAM for around $800 (Canadian).

During that same month, I checked for a similar build with an Intel CPU (and another Mobo, with different RAM) and it would have pumped up the price by $200 (with taxes), "just because Intel". No thanks. There was no way I could pass up on a 6 Core CPU with 12 Threads even at its original price back one year ago. Right now it's even better for the first generation Ryzen models (which still of course perform very well). In terms of technology / performance offered for the price right now Intel really doesn't have much to give (except with their recent new chips, for which prices have finally been reduced to 'less insane' levels; but it's still too high anyway).

So, go AMD! And bring back some competition on the CPU market.

I'm looking for a new CPU for one of my systems. The old trusty 2700K isn't that nice to use after all the bad Intel fixes this year. It will either be 2700X or a Zen 2 instead. I don't see Intel's offerings as good enough with all of their issues lately. Maybe in 2020.
