AMD has captured more than a quarter of the x86 market share
In the third quarter of 2021, AMD’s overall market share in x86 processors reached 24.6%, close to the all-time high of 25.3% in the fourth quarter of 2006, when the K8 architecture was in full swing. At that time, the K8 architecture was in full swing. Since the difference is only 0.7%, many people think that with the development trend of AMD, by the fourth quarter of 2021, the overall market share is likely to surpass the all-time high in the fourth quarter of 2006.
According to TomsHardware reports, AMD’s server processor market share has grown for 11 consecutive months and now has reached 10.7%. However, there are also other research institutions claiming that AMD has a higher market share in this market. For example, Omdia’s report shows that AMD’s share has reached as high as 18.3%. The x86 processor market has hit record highs in both shipments and revenue in 2021, with overall revenue increasing from $66.6 billion to $74 billion in 2021, an annual growth rate of 10.7%, benefiting both Intel and AMD.
Mercury Research said a large portion of AMD’s overall x86 processor market growth in the fourth quarter of 2021 came from increased shipments of game consoles, which was a key factor in AMD’s record 25.6% record high.
