Only dominant in enthusiast land. ~20% of desktop but their server marketshare is still in the 5-10% range, with many analysts estimating below 5%. (Numbers from rumors of Mercury's next report, to be released soon). Likely to blow past Intel after the next hardware cycle. I'd guess 2021-22, since epyc zen2 launched in the end of 2019. Big players plan hardware on a multi year schedule (oem, vps/hosting).
