For the first time in 14 years, AMD won 40% of the CPU market from Intel

It seems that AMD’s “red team” is getting more and more solid steps in the CPU market, as recent statistics of PassMark show that AMD’s market share has reached 40% for the first time in 14 years.

This achievement comes from the fact that Intel is still “stuck” with the 14nm architecture, while AMD has upgraded to the 7nm architecture – thereby giving the red team clear advantages both in performance. and price. This year is also the first year in 3 decades that Intel has been surpassed by AMD in the x86 CPU segment.

According to PassMark statistics, AMD is very quickly regaining market share in the CPU segment, which is largely thanks to the Ryzen CPU series that provides processing power at a very affordable price.

AMD has previously acknowledged that Intel has moved far from them, and it is difficult for them to catch up to Intel. However, the opportunity came to AMD when Intel encountered many problems in exploiting the 10nm architecture. And as we can see in the chart above, if Intel doesn’t make a move to regain market share, it will probably be a one-off thing sooner or later – when AMD has already won nearly 20% Intel’s market share after less than a year.

Of course, Intel still has a certain advantage for the gaming audience, as their 14nm architecture offers a single-core clock higher than AMD. However, the problem is that Intel’s chips are still priced slightly higher than the performance they bring, so when considering the P / P factor, AMD’s Ryzen chips are having a clear advantage. compared to Intel.

So, if Intel doesn’t really make a breakthrough by releasing 10nm architecture chips to the market in the near future, maybe they will really lose their throne to AMD.
