Puget Systems has revealed details about AMD and Intel’s client and workstation CPU market share, showing Team Red’s massive comeback over the past few quarters.
AMD’s Newest Ryzen 9000 Series CPUs Have Managed To Gobble Up Intel’s Market Share, Now Reaching More Than 40%
In the past few months, the client CPU markets have witnessed many changes regarding the “balance of power” between Intel and AMD, which has indeed been reflected in the overall market share of respective firms. Puget System has compiled the “Hardware Trends of 2024”, giving a deep dive into how AMD’s client and workstation market share has evolved in the past few quarters, and their findings indeed depict an interesting situation.
Starting with the client CPU segment, the situation has favored Team Red tremendously, especially after Q4 2024. AMD saw a whopping 20% rise in market share in just the last year alone, with massive growth seen in Q2-Q4, mainly due to Intel’s inability to capitalize on the market hype. With the release of AMD’s “Granite Ridge” Ryzen 9000 series CPUs and the respective “3D V-Cache” models, the firm saw rapid consumer adoption, given that Team Red outperformed Intel in every aspect.
Not just this, but with the persistent CPU instability issues with Intel’s 14th Gen & 13th Gen CPUs, Team Blue had already started to lose its market share, moving into H2 2024. To top it all off, releasing the company’s Arrow Lake-S desktop CPUs was disappointing. Intel failed to deliver on expectations, so AMD managed to be ahead of its competitor in next-gen CPU launch. AMD has claimed that Intel’s Arrow Lake was a “horrible” product, and this sluggish performance has been reflected in the change in market dynamics.
Puget Systems has also shared insights into the workstation CPU segment, showing AMD’s dominance. AMD’s Threadripper lineup accounts for a significant market share, with Intel’s Xeon counterpart holding a mere 10% of the orders. Yet again, this shows how Intel has failed to sustain itself in the CPU business, and things aren’t looking suitable for the company in the future, given how aggressive AMD has been with its products.
