A Closer Look at the Gains

To understand the significance of these market share gains, it’s important to note that AMD’s x86 share has seen consistent improvement in both volume and revenue. The current figures mark an increase from 17.3% (volume) and 14.1% (revenue) in the previous quarter, and even more so from last year’s 15.0% (volume) and 12.2% (revenue) in Q3 2022.

EPYC CPUs for Servers

The AMD EPYC CPUs for servers have made remarkable progress, with a 5.8-point increase in market share compared to the previous year. This success places AMD closer to achieving its ambitious goal of a 40% server market share by the end of 2024. The latest 4th Gen EPYC lineup has gained strong traction among HPC and Data Center customers. Furthermore, the company’s commitment to extending its 3rd Gen AMD EPYC server CPUs with enhanced support and warranties, along with the introduction of new SKUs, is expected to drive even more market share in the mainstream data center segment.

Ryzen Mobile Processors

The mobile segment has been another area of notable growth for AMD, with a 3.8-point increase in market share compared to the previous year and a 2.9-point increase over the previous quarter. This surge can be attributed to the popularity of the latest Ryzen 7000 series and the increased volume of Ryzen 6000 processors. While AMD’s supply of Ryzen 7000 CPUs has faced some bottlenecks, the strength of their Phoenix and Dragon Range CPUs is undeniable. The Phoenix series, with its Ryzen AI, aims to compete with Intel’s upcoming Meteor Lake CPUs, positioning itself as an “AIPC” product.

Desktop Market

The desktop market, although experiencing a more modest 0.5-point market share increase compared to the previous year, is not to be overlooked. AMD’s Ryzen 7000 Desktop CPUs have surpassed Intel in markets like South Korea, and this trend is likely to continue in other regions. Reduced prices during upcoming deals seasons and falling costs of hardware components, including AM5 motherboards, DDR5 memory, and SSDs, will further attract customers and DIY builders in the coming months.

The Road Ahead

AMD’s strong performance across all segments, particularly with EPYC and Ryzen mobile, indicates a promising future. The desktop segment is also poised for increased market share, as it’s already experiencing improved revenue share in the current quarter. With the company’s plans to unveil its next-gen portfolio based on the Zen 5 architecture at CES 2024, the competition will undoubtedly be challenged. The continued socket compatibility for upcoming processors in the AM5 segment is expected to further solidify AMD’s position in the market.

In conclusion, AMD EPYC server CPUs and Ryzen mobile processors have made significant inroads into the market, securing a notable win in Q3 2023. With their commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction, AMD’s trajectory seems to be on an upward trend. As we look ahead to CES 2024, the tech world eagerly awaits what AMD has in store, and it’s clear that the “Red Team” is on a winning streak.
