There's a lot of caveats on this data. It's only showing the ratio of people submitting reports through their benchmark software, which apparently only runs on Windows. So, that makes it sound like the entire space of Linux servers is excluded.
I'm just speculating here, but it feels to me like they're just not accurately measuring the market share for servers.
- arp242 5y agoPurely anecdotally, it's been a very long time that I encountered a non-Intel server. I actually wouldn't be surprised if the numbers were roughly in the right ballpark, ±5% or so.
