AMD grows Epyc datacenter share, loses to Intel generally
Dean McCarron, head of Mercury Research, said CPU market share movements in 2022 have been largely reflective of both companies experiencing sales slowdowns at different points and varying magnitudes. These downturns have been happening in response to system vendors trying to sell off existing inventories of chips before buying more from AMD and Intel.
However, he added, this dynamic mainly impacted the notebook processor market in the third quarter and not as much for CPUs going into servers and desktops: [The server market] is the one place where inventory likely didn't change the share outcome, though we note the size of AMD's gains this quarter isn't consistent with historical trends and Intel likely had some inventory-related declines in their server results, which probably under-states Intel's share of the end market.
While server CPU shipments declined in the third quarter overall, it was the notebook market that took the biggest hit,"with every quarter thus far in 2022 posting worse than 30 percent on-year declines in shipments," according to McCarron. Desktop processors, on the other hand, experienced a"strong recovery" in shipments. McCarron credited this quarterly upswing to seasonal demand as well as PC makers buying more chips from Intel ahead ofWhile Mercury doesn't officially track market share for Arm CPUs, the firm estimated that the share of Arm processors in PCs grew 9.4 points to 13.1 percent in the third quarter.
