In Q4 2021, AMD CPU market share reached its highest level ever. Despite losing its share in the desktop and mobile segments, AMD dominated the overall x86 market share of 25.6% in the last quarter of last year. This figure surpassed the previous record of 25.3%, which AMD reached in 2006.
The latest market share statistics come from Mercury Research. The ongoing global chip shortage is impacting AMD’s and Intel’s respective successes, and other processor segments where companies fall short. For example, AMD chips are used in the Xbox Series X and other game consoles, and therefore processors are reserved to meet the demand of these systems compared to other types of devices.
What is AMD CPU market share in 2022?
AMD’s server segment grew its market share to 10.7% in Q4 2021. This was the 11th consecutive quarter growth of market share for AMD’s server CPUs.

The release of new Alder Lake CPUs, including the Intel Core i9-12900K, may have impacted AMD’s market share.
