Intel continue to lose server CPU market share this year

Since 2017, AMD has been steadily gaining market share in server processors with EPYC processors. At the same time, various processors based on the Arm architecture have also begun to rise. Although Intel maintains a leading position, its market share is constantly declining.

According to Digitimes, thanks to the higher number of cores of EPYC processors and lower prices under the same number of cores, AMD continued to grab market share in server processors from Intel this year. It is expected that AMD’s market share in server processors will exceed 20% without any suspense this year. In addition, Arm processors will further erode Intel’s original share, and the market share may reach more than 8%.

In addition, there are two other invisible factors that drive more manufacturers to adopt EPYC processors. One is that AMD executed the roadmap for EPYC processors very well, with little or no latency. The other is that performance always holds the advantage, and the time to market is far ahead of similar products of competitors. Under the superposition of two factors, AMD has made steady progress in the server processor market. With the launch of its Zen 4c-based EPYC processors, code-named Bergamo, aimed at cloud workloads later this year, AMD will solidify its advantage.

According to statistics, the market share of Arm processors from companies such as Amazon, Alibaba, Ampere, and Marvell increased from 3.5% in 2021 to 6.8% in 2022. With new players like Nvidia on board and existing players continuing to launch new products, the market share is expected to reach 8.1% this year, and it is almost certain to gain more market share in data center and edge computing servers in the next few years.
