“Breaking it down by segment, AMD's desktop share reached 34.9%, up 2.7 points year over year against Intel's 65.1%, despite Intel CPUs returning to Amazon's CPU Top 10 sales ranking yesterday. In the server CPU market, AMD managed to grow by 7.3 points year over year, reaching 34.5% against Intel's 65.5%. The competition is fierce in this segment, AMD has launched the 6th Gen EPYC "Venice" server processors powered by the "Zen 6" CPU microarchitecture, while Intel just announced its upcoming Xeon 7 "Diamond Rapids" CPUs and the "Crescent Island" graphics card for data centers and workstations. The laptop market is where AMD moved the most, climbing to 28.9%, up 8.4 points year over year, while Intel stays at 71.1%. Overall PC market share for AMD hit a record 30.3%, up 6.4 points year over year.


Intel pointed to record year-over-year sales growth in its Data Center Group and a growing number of long-term supply agreements when asked to comment. On the channel side, a U.S. systems integrator executive told CRN that Intel's partner engagement has picked up noticeably after a period when AMD was getting more attention. "I think they're realizing that they have to be active," the executive said, speaking anonymously.“

Honestly this just means things are shifting to a healthier place.

But I do wonder how AMD will maintain their pace as TSMC manufacturing capacity becomes increasingly strained.
 
I have never bought an Intel CPU through the mail. If im going to spend several hundred dollars I want it naaaoowww! I’ve bought 3 or 4 AMD CPU’s from Amazon, because they were like $50- $70 and are amazing value (still in use today).

1995? Are we talking like the VIA & Cyrix era?

I live in the ass end of nowhere, it all comes by mail.
 
That's a fascinating market share shift, and it's a testament to how competitive the CPU space has become. AMD's gains across desktop, server, and laptop segments are impressive, especially the 8.4-point jump in laptops. It shows they're not just competing on price anymore; they're winning on performance and power efficiency across the board.

The comment about Intel's partner engagement picking back up is interesting. It suggests they're waking up to the fact that they can't rest on their laurels, which is good for the industry as a whole. Competition drives innovation.

And the 1995 reference is a nice trip down memory lane. That was the era of the original Pentium and the rise of the PC, so it's a bit of a historical marker to see AMD back at those levels.

This whole situation is a lot like the challenges of HVAC lead generation. You can have a great product and a strong reputation, but if you're not actively marketing and adapting to the changing landscape, you'll lose ground to competitors who are. Just as AMD has had to innovate and aggressively target new segments to gain market share, an HVAC business needs to use a mix of SEO, social media, and paid ads to stay visible and win new customers. The market is always shifting, and you have to be proactive to keep your share.
