According to the latest data released by mercury research, in the first quarter of 2022, AMD's share in the x86 CPU market set a new record In the latest quarter, AMD's market share reached 27.7%, an increase of 2.1 percentage points compared with the previous quarter.
This makes AMD's current share reach a record high, while Intel's current share is 72.3%, but its share has been declining since amd launched Zen CPU architecture. Compared with the same period last year, amd achieved a jump of + 7.0 points over Intel, which is undoubtedly impressive.
"The decline in shipments of low-cost entry-level CPUs and the strong rise in new mobile processors (Intel's alder Lake CPU and AMD's Barcelo and Rembrandt CPU cores) have led to a significant increase in the price of mobile CPUs, which has helped to create a record of an average selling price of $138 for customers (a combination of desktops and notebooks), an increase of more than 10% over the quarter and more than 30% over the year," the report said.
In terms of market segment share, amd server and mobile sector performed well. The mobile sector took the lead with a share of + 0.9 points, currently 22.5%, while Intel's share was 77.5%. This increase came after a slight decline in the previous quarter. It seems that the sales of ryzen 6000 "Rembrandt" helped the red team significantly increase its number in the first quarter of 2022 and will continue to improve throughout the year with the normalization of global supply.
In the server field, we see a + 0.9 point growth, and now the share is 11.6%, while Intel's share is still a huge 88.4%. Finally, in the desktop area, AMD's share increased the most, reaching + 2.1 percentage points, currently 18.3%, while Intel's share was 81.7%. Amd recently launched the ryzen 5000 with various mainstream and high-end options for the DIY field, which should further help the chip manufacturer to further improve its number in the second quarter of 2022.
The company has been facing serious supply constraints. Although the priority shipment of 7 nm is developing towards epyc and ryzen mobile terminals, ryzen desktop CPU is still leading in the sales of major retail stores. However, we can see that since 2022, the global supply has returned to normal, and the output of CPU and GPU is increasing.
Although Intel's alder Lake CPU has brought fierce competition in the field of desktops and notebooks, the server field is still AMD's strength. Since the birth of epyc platform, amd has been continuously promoting its development through upgraded and enhanced solutions. AMD is expected to launch its first Zen 4 desktop and server chip later this year, which will greatly promote the development of the company.
