It was 98% of the datacenter market in 2017, and apparently the rate of decrease is accelerating, and that's even before taking into account that the datacenter chip equivalent to your 12700k doesn't come out until later this year and that's where you'd expect to see the real fall off in DC marketshare.
That money can dry up very quickly.
- jeffbee 5y agoBy no means do I imagine that Intel has everything right where they want it. Clearly, they'd prefer to be the "machine of the day" at Google, instead of AMD having that honor. But, it's also not the first time they've been in this position. I would argue they were in much more serious trouble in 2008 or so, when it was Itanium and NetBurst vs. Opteron, and everyone bought Opteron.
- monocasa 5y agoIntel still had leading edge node supremacy at that point, and everyone go caught with their pants down with the end of Dennard scaling. AMD simply lucked out that they weren't designing a core to hit 10Ghz in the first place (because what would become GloFo didn't have the node chops to even pretend that they could hit that in the first place even ignoring Dennard scaling issues). AMD therefore didn't have to pull slower mobile core designs off of the back burner like Intel had to which took time to readjust. Intel's in a much worse position now. Their process woes aren't issues that the rest of the industry will hit in a year or so like the end of Dennard scaling was.
