It also represents an incredible improvement of ten percentage points compared to the previous year. AMD also achieved a strong increase in revenue share, jumping 8.5 percentage points from the previous quarter, indicating that it is selling its high-end CPU models well.
During the quarter, AMD launched its new family of Ryzen 9000 series processors amid a scandal related to the stability issues of Intel’s Raptor Lake chips, which generated a wave of negative press for the company over several months, and inventory adjustments for one of Intel’s clients.
AMD close to controlling a third of the CPU market
AMD now controls 28.7% of the desktop processor market. AMD also continued to gain share in the laptop and server markets, although its gains on the desktop side were the most impressive, according to Mercury Research.
In the third quarter of 2024, Intel maintained a strong leadership in the client PC market, with 76.1% of the market in terms of units, while AMD had a smaller share of 23.9%.
However, the dynamics do not favor Intel, as AMD gained 2.9 percentage points (pp) quarter over quarter and 4.6 pp year over year, which represents significant achievements. Intel, of course, will continue to lead the client PC market for the foreseeable future.
AMD’s biggest breakthrough in the third quarter was, of course, gaining 5.7 percentage points of unit share in the desktop x86 CPU market. The company now controls 28.7% of the market, which is a huge increase of 9.6 percentage points compared to the same quarter of the previous year, probably the highest share the company has had in at least 15 years. AMD’s revenue share in the desktop CPU market also increased by 7.7 percentage points year-over-year, reaching 27.3%.
Intel’s share in desktop computers dropped to 71.3%. Dean McCarron, from Mercury Research, explains that the cause of this decline was an inventory correction at one of its clients. If this is true, Intel’s share could recover in the fourth quarter of 2024.
