- AMD now holds almost 30% of the desktop CPU market share.
- This marks a 10% increase compared to last year and 5.7% from last quarter.
- Intel still holds a 70% share, but the crown is slowly slipping away.
Intel has ruled the CPU market for a very long time. Once the default choice for most people, it is now losing itself against competition from AMD. In the desktop x86 CPU Market, AMD claims almost 30% of the market share.
Why it matters: Intel’s latest Raptor Lake CPUs have consistently been under fire for instability and crashing issues. This led to many fans jumping shipping platforms and heading over to AMD.
In Q3 of 2024, AMD saw a growth of 5.7% in the CPU market compared to the last quarter. During this period, it released its much-anticipated Ryzen 9000 series. It also marks a massive 10% improvement compared to last year.
This led AMD to claim 28.7% of the overall desktop CPU market share. It also showed decent figures in the laptop and server markets, although the increase was more substantial in the desktop space.
There is no denying that Intel still owns over 70% of the market share, but things were a lot different a few years back. Intel dominated every chart, and there was no competition. Quarter by quarter, that crown is now slipping.
Intel needs to consider its situation in the market if it wants to sustain its crown. The 13th and 14th-generation and core ultra processors aren’t bad performers, but when they constantly crash on you, it’s better to skip them altogether, and Intel seriously needs to sort this out.
For context, AMD dominates the top sellers on Amazon. In terms of the console market, everything from the PS5 and Xbox Series to handhelds like ROG Ally and others utilizes AMD processors.
