The Mercury Research CPU market share outcomes are in for the second quarter of 2022, and the information is not nice — desktop CPU shipments dropped to their lowest stage in practically three many years. Dean McCarron from Mercury Analysis says the year-over-year decline is the most important within the agency’s data, which stretches again 28 years, and predicts it was the most important since 1984 (36 years). The decline got here as OEMs decreased their stock, drastically decreasing demand within the quarter. Someway AMD managed to carve out beneficial properties in each unit share and income in the course of the quarter, although.
In line with the latest earnings report from Intel, AMD, and Nvidia, the restoration will probably be an extended one. Intel issued a dire earnings report final week — the corporate misplaced cash for the primary time in many years, partially pushed by PC declines. Intel additionally introduced it was delaying its important Xeon Sapphire Rapids information heart chips and killing off one other failing enterprise unit, Optane; the sixth unit retired since new CEO Pat Gelsinger took over.
In distinction, AMD’s income was up 70% year-over-year as the corporate continued to enhance its already-great profitability. AMD is firing on all cylinders and can launch its Ryzen 7000 CPUs, RDNA 3 GPUs, and EPYC Genoa information heart processors on schedule.
That constant execution continues to repay. AMD took huge strides within the cell/laptop computer market once more, setting one other report for unit share in that phase with 24.8%. AMD additionally gained within the server marketplace for the thirteenth consecutive quarter, reaching 13.9% of the market. Notably, AMD’s quarterly achieve in servers is the most important we have seen in our historic information, which dates again to 2017, and it set a report for server income share. AMD additionally set a brand new report of 31.4% of the overall market share for x86 processors.
It is protected to say that every one indicators level to a continued PC stoop — Intel and AMD count on the desktop and pocket book PC market to be down double-digits by means of the top of the yr. Nvidia additionally introduced that it had drastically underperformed its information by $1.4 billion as a result of slumping gaming GPU gross sales, and its companions count on as much as a 50% decline in GPU shipments this yr. It is onerous to gauge how a lot of that quantity was really destined for gaming PCs versus cryptominers, so the tea leaves are murky.
Arm CPU market share reached 9.4%, a decline from 11.3% final quarter. McCarron says that a lot of this was as a result of Apple’s gross sales of its M1 Macs being down final quarter, dragging down the general share of Arm chips. Nonetheless, Arm might have grown inside the Chromebook phase. Apple encountered provide disruptions in the course of the quarter as a result of lockdowns in China, impacting its means to ship items and certain impacting its share beneficial properties towards x86.
Nonetheless, as you may see under, Arm continues to drastically enhance its market share within the server market.
Yow will discover the uncooked numbers damaged out phase by phase within the tables under.
- In desktop, AMD income share elevated 0.7 share factors yr over yr to 18.8%.
- In pocket book, AMD income share elevated 12.1 share factors yr over yr to 27.0% — an all-time excessive for AMD.
- In server, AMD income share elevated 11.3 share factors yr over yr to 22.9%.
- In general x86, AMD income share elevated 11.2 share factors yr over yr to twenty-eight.1% — an all-time excessive for AMD.

The decline within the PC market started because the pandemic receded and international financial turmoil and inflation mounted. AMD continues its streak of market share beneficial properties, reaching 20.6% of the unit share within the quarter.
“AMD’s desktop enterprise skilled a modest rebound from the declines of the primary quarter, whereas Intel’s desktop CPU shipments continued to say no. Intel seemed to be impacted by continued stock corrections decreasing shipments within the quarter; AMD’s enterprise confirmed no vital stock impacts and share was gained,” McCarron mentioned.

AMD set one more market share report within the pocket book market, a formidable feat on condition that it does not promote as many chips into the low-end phase as Intel. This marks one more market share report for AMD within the cell house.
“Whereas AMD had slight development in cell CPU shipments within the second quarter, it was properly under regular ranges and each AMD and Intel had vital on-year declines in cell CPU items shipped; each suppliers look like dealing with a downturn in CPU demand, although Intel was disproportionately affected and misplaced share to AMD consequently,” mentioned McCarron.

AMD bases its server share projections on IDC’s forecasts however solely accounts for the single- and dual-socket market, which eliminates four-socket (and past) servers, networking infrastructure, and Xeon D’s (edge). As such, Mercury’s numbers differ from the numbers cited by AMD, which predicts the next market share. Right here is AMD’s touch upon the matter: “Mercury Analysis captures all x86 server-class processors of their server unit estimate, no matter gadget (server, community or storage), whereas the estimated 1P [single-socket] and 2P [two-socket] TAM [Total Addressable Market] offered by IDC solely consists of conventional servers.”
AMD continued its three-year streak of quarterly share beneficial properties and made the most important single quarterly achieve way back to our data go (2017). AMD gained within the server marketplace for the thirteenth consecutive quarter, reaching 13.9% of the market. AMD set each cargo and income data within the quarter.
Intel continues to undergo on this phase, and it additionally introduced its Sapphire Rapids will probably be delayed but once more. The corporate hasn’t set a discernable date for the complete launch, however we count on that to return in Q1 subsequent yr.

This info comes from research firm Omdia, which makes use of completely different measurement methodologies. It additionally offers us extra perception into Arm’s penetration into the information heart. Omdia has shared this early info for the quarter with us, with the caveat that the agency remains to be cross-checking its numbers versus stock burn within the second quarter and evaluating CPU vs. server shipments and purchases. As such, there is perhaps slight changes within the closing tally.
If you happen to have been questioning why Intel’s margins for its server CPU enterprise plummeted final quarter, this is the reply. As you’ll be able to see, Intel is dropping share quickly over the previous few quarters, with each Arm and AMD now not nipping at its heels — they’re now taking chunks.
Although the Arm server share calculations are nonetheless preliminary, Vlad Galabov, Director at Omdia, Head of the Cloud and Knowledge Middle Analysis Observe, tells us that AWS, Huawei, and Ampere are gaining share quickly out there.
Server shipments weighed in at 3.4 million for the quarter. Omdia measures Intel at 69.5% of the information heart market, AMD at 22.7%, and Arm at a report 7.1%. (0.6% goes to ‘different.’) Notably, ARM’s share has elevated 48% year-over-year.

“Our estimate for ARM CPU PC consumer share (together with Chromebooks and Apple’s M1 based mostly Macs with X86 desktop and cell CPUs within the whole consumer measurement estimate) is 9.4 p.c, down from 11.3 p.c final quarter and up from 7.7 p.c a yr in the past. Apple’s Mac enterprise was down considerably on quarter, which dragged ARM share down. We famous that inside the Chromebook promote it appeared that ARM’s share might have elevated barely within the quarter,” mentioned McCarron.

Whereas the opposite segments above exclude IoT and semi-custom items (like AMD’s sport console enterprise), this accounting of the general x86 market additionally consists of these merchandise.
AMD has gained an unbelievable 8.9 proportion factors year-over-year and three.7 factors over the prior quarter, setting one more new report.
