AMD achieved record figures in the x86 desktop processor market. The company's share of the desktop CPU segment grew to 32.2%, representing approximately one-third of the market, and its revenue share rose to 39.3%. This growth was driven by strong sales of the Ryzen 9000 chips and X3D models, popular among gamers.
Despite AMD's success, Intel maintained its lead with a 67.8% share, but its lead narrowed significantly compared to previous years. In the desktop segment, not only is unit share important, but also the profit and sales structure upon which profits depend. AMD is increasingly occupying the high-end niche, raising average prices and strengthening its position with retail and OEM partners.
Intel's desktop CPU sales continued to increase by approximately two times, but the gap is narrowing, indicating intensifying competition. Revenue share in the consumer segment increased to 27.8%. Although its share in the mobile segment declined slightly compared to the end of 2024, success in the desktop and server markets is offsetting this decline.
For Intel, the pressure in the high-end desktop processor segment remains evident, even though the company is regaining some ground lost in laptops. AMD's success is attributed to newer architectures and product positioning targeted at key groups – we're talking about Ryzen's growing popularity among enthusiasts, content creators, and ready-made system builders in the high-end market.
