The article states that Intel has 75.9% of datacenter CPU shipments and AMD has 24.1%. This implies that ARM has 0% of the server market, which is not the case.

The article states that Intel has 75.9% of datacenter CPU shipments and AMD has 24.1%. This implies that ARM has 0% of the server market, which is not the case. I suspect this article neglected to state the important restriction to "*x86* server market", which makes a big difference to the conclusions.
- FuriouslyAdrift 2y agoBy unit quantities, yes... by revenue, however, they are nearly neck in neck "While Intel earned $3.0 billion selling 75.9% of data center CPUs (in terms of units), AMD earned $2.8 billion selling 24.1% of server CPUs (in terms of units), which signals that the average selling price of an AMD EPYC is considerably higher than the ASP of an Intel Xeon."

- Sammi 2y agoIf companies are really spending twice the money on amd chips as these numbers imply, then this should mean that a amd server chip has a 2x perceived value compared to an intel one.
- nicoburns 2y agoI think there are AMD chips with twice as many cores as the Intel ones, so this kinda makes sense.
- timschmidt 2y agoEpyc is also vastly ahead of Xeon in terms of number of PCIe lanes provided, which can be critical in many applications.
- Panzer04 2y agoProbably depends on the tier of processor too. Not all servers probably need 10k 64/128core CPUs.
- hakfoo 2y agoI'm curious how they count a server/data-centre CPU. The Xeon range covers servers, to HEDT, to basically "desktop workstation that requires ECC" levels of functionality and pricing. For AMD those are three separate ranges, so I'm curious if they can effectively differentiate between a Ryzen bought for a desktop and one going in a server rack.
