Last week, AMD released its third quarter 2021 financial report. In the announced report, it was seen that the company gained a great momentum compared to the previous year.
The company’s product and technology roadmap saw a huge revenue increase. Ryzen 5000 processor sales, which reached a double-digit percentage, are estimated to be effective at the beginning of the reasons for this. With the remarkable increase in Radeon GPU sales and strong demand for Sony and Microsoft game consoles powered by semi-custom chips, the gaming side also had an impact on this picture for the company.
AMD continued its rise in the third quarter
In the Mercury Research 2021 Q3 x86 CPU Market Share report, the remarkable sales figures in the corporate computing area also had a great impact on the company’s market share. Some of the highlights of the report were:
- AMD increased its total x86 unit share by 2.1 points quarter-on-quarter to 24.6 percent market share.
- Unit share of 24.6 percent, the 2nd highest overall x86 distribution figure ever. AMD’s highest overall share of x86 to date was 25.3 percent in Q4 2006.
- The x86 volume share in AMD laptop excluding IoT reached 22 percent, an all-time high for AMD.
- AMD laptop revenue also reached an all-time high of 16.2 percent in Q3 2021.
Collaboration with Microsoft Azure from AMD!
Having signed a number of important agreements, the company announced that it has collaborated with Microsoft Azure for 3rd Generation AMD EPYC processors in the latest generation Dasv5 and Easv5 Azure Virtual Machines (VMs). Azure also offers new private VMs DCasv5 and ECasv5, which use the latest advanced security features found in Gen 3 EPYC processors, including Secure Encrypted Virtualization-Secure Nested Call (SEV-SNP).
Updated Dasv5 VMs optimized for general purpose workloads and Easv5 VMs optimized for memory-based workloads offer better price-performance for most general-purpose and memory-intensive workloads compared to previous EPYC processor-based Microsoft Azure virtual machines .
Azure private VMs can be used by customers with high security and privacy requirements for their workloads. Using AMD EPYC processors, these hidden VMs take advantage of powerful hardware-based security features that enable them to perform advanced on:
- Privacy data analytics
- Workloads that require strong encryption
- Data sharing between companies with less exposure to other data while benefiting from shared insights.
In 2022, AMD will continue to introduce its next generation products to the market. What do you think about this rise of the company? You can share it with us in the comments.
