AMD beats Intel in desktop CPU share

I've mostly always had Intel builds but with my current pc I went with an AMD build.

Not true anymore. Intel CPUs now use 50% more power, which means they produce 50% more heat.

Intel is now hot and loud.

Netbrust fiasco all over again lol. But it may take much longer this time for intel to make a comeback some seriously bad business choices, unlike AMD having to wait it out with their roadmap way back with bulldozer.

IDK don't really care about intel vs AMD. Will use whatever is cheaper, don't really need top performance. The intel desktop I use is good enough till next year.
 
I think a lot of people here don't realize how much the Ryzen 5000 series is pummelling Intel in the performance & power efficiency categories.

You want the best gaming performance? AMD
Best single threaded? AMD
Best multithreaded? AMD
Most cores per Rands spent? AMD
Most cores total? AMD
----
Hottest? Intel
Slowest? Intel

All true, but those affect the choice of people in the market for a new CPU.

Intel still leads in the install base due to how many Intel CPUs were purchased in the last 10 years.

I think it will take a few years for minds to change. Intel has been so dominant for so long, some people still see AMD as the "value" player. Ie, if you want the best value, buy AMD, if you want the best performance, buy Intel.

But that isn't true anymore. AMD isn't the value player anymore. They are now the fastest.

Title is very misleading/clickbaity. Intel holds a massive market share lead over AMD.

Very much so. These figures at best would represent the portion of the DIY market that bothers with Passmark.

The DIY segment is vocal but a tiny minority compared to OEMs selling systems by the millions to corporates.

Get the Ryzen 9 and run a game or two or read the news. Had to by a Coolermaster MA410p just to keep it cool.

The entire Ryzen series has good thermals. You should not be using stock cooling with any premium CPU.

The MA410P is a cheapo thing anyway. Personally, I would look at options starting at over R1.2k.
 
Intel has been in a complete glut because of their manufacturing problems. Intel have been stuck at 10nm whilst AMD have been at 7nm, which is why AMD processors have been dominating. Smaller transistors = less heat. Less heat = more performance.


Nevertheless, I don't think they are going to go fabless anytime soon:
Swan portraying an Intel that is becoming ambivalent about ownership of leading-edge semiconductor manufacturing may have the side-effect of helping him to negotiate with a US government that will be required to pay substantially for R&D and capex.

But R&D and capex alone does not secure leadership at the leading-edge edge of semiconductor manufacturing. It also takes the vision and a desire to lead, sustained over many years. Right now, Intel seems to be lacking both.

Intel being stuck at 14nm and ignoring the problem is the entire reason AMD eclipsed them so quickly.

If Intel fixed 10nm they would very much be back in the game. But they haven't. Instead they have been stuck on 14nm for 7 years while AMD cruised to 7nm and beyond on the back of TSMC.

AMD is fun but it runs hot, I had to replace the heatsink and a few other components just to keep everything cool while I game while stock cooler for intel at i7 level runs really well and doesn't go too far into the red. AMD if you're not careful that puppy gets hot even without overclocking. Intel for me is the baseline and you know it's gonna run forever, I upgraded from my i5 to the Ryzen 9 only after 8 years and could play most games. a Friend has a Ryzen 5 3600 with onboard graphics and he's had it for 2 years and it like to act up. But whatever just my opinion man secretly deep down I was an Intel fan boy but after Ryzen 9 it's like you just can't go back even for the price.

Hey leave me out of this. I side with me colleague Dr Zoidberg on this anyway.
 
Intel: we don't care, the future is in servers, i.e. cloud computing (work and entertainment).

And Intel is losing in the server market too. They face fierce competition not only from AMD but also from ARM based server CPUs.

Basically everyone is buying Epyc servers. Substantially better value for money.

UpCloud has gone 100% AMD and their performance is incredible.
 
Intel has just quietly stopped competing altogether in the high end desktop space. They just have no answer for Threadripper. I really wish they would get off their arses and do something about it, a market without competition is boring.
 
Thanks for the info guys, but I was being sarcastic :ROFL:
