Puget System Data Shows Intel Leading Against AMD In Client Desktop CPU Market, Xeon Loosing To Threadripper

wccftech.com:

Puget Systems has released its latest market share statistics which show Intel leading the desktop client segment versus AMD CPUs.

The data published by Puget Systems include all of their system orders throughout 2021-2022. The systems mostly include workstation PCs and list them by per order instead of total unit sales. Some orders have been filtered out as they can cause random spikes within the stats. So starting with the details, we first have the client desktop CPU segment which comprises the Intel Core & AMD Ryzen CPUs.

To summarize some of the bigger trends:

In the client desktop CPU segment, it looks like AMD Ryzen CPUs were the clear choice throughout 2021 but ever since the launch of 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs which offered more core counts than the previous generation, consumers have gone back to Chipzilla and its offerings. Throughout this year, Intel CPUs enjoyed a 70% market share on average while AMD CPUs fell down to just 30% of the sales at Puget Systems. Intel and AMD launched their latest 13th Gen and Ryzen 7000 CPUs at the end of 2022 so we will have to see the next report for 2023 to see how well those did in client PCs.

Moving over to the workstation segment, well this is the complete opposite and since 2021, AMD has been the undisputed leader with its Threadripper and Threadripper Pro parts. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPUs commanded leadership throughout 2021 but seemed to give away the market to the Threadripper Pro lineup. This is due to AMD's exclusivity with certain OEMs to offer Pro PCs earlier than others. Furthermore, the Threadripper Pro has been a controversial launch as the line has not seen a proper DIY launch like the previous Threadripper 1000 and 2000 SKUs. The 3000 & 5000 SKUs have mostly
