AMD Ryzen Desktop CPU Market Share Soars in Q1 2024

In the first quarter of 2024, AMD’s Ryzen desktop processors have made a significant leap in the CPU market share, according to the latest report from Mercury Research. The Ryzen desktop lineup has seen its market share grow by 21% in Q1 2024, marking the best quarter for the Ryzen desktop lineup in nearly two years.

A Closer Look at the Numbers

AMD’s CPU market share in the desktop segment grew from 19.8% in Q4 2023 to 23.9% at the end of Q1 2024. This represents a year-over-year increase of 4.7 points, up from 19.2% in Q1 2023.

The Ryzen desktop market share rose 4.1 points quarter-over-quarter and 4.7 points year-over-year. This growth is largely attributed to the launch of the Ryzen 8000 “Phoenix” aimed at All-In-One (AIO) and business PCs.

Mobility and Server Numbers

While the desktop numbers are promising, the mobility and server numbers remained flat for the first quarter. The mobility processor market saw a 1-point decline quarter-over-quarter but increased by 3 points year-over-year. It settled at 19.3% at the end of Q1 2024, down from 20.3% the previous quarter, but up from 16.2% the prior year.

The Epyc server segment gained 5.6 points YoY, to 23.6% at the end of Q1 2024, up from 23.1% and 18% the previous quarter and year, respectively. The 4th Gen Epyc Genoa CPUs continued to enjoy rapid adoption, backed by the Zen 4c-based “Bergamo” chips in the Cloud market.

Looking Ahead

AMD’s overall client CPU share grew to 20.6%, up from 20.2% last quarter and 17% last year. With the impending launch of the Ryzen 9000 and Ryzen HX AI “Strix Point” processors, AMD is looking forward to a big year ahead. Expectations from Zen 5 and its derivatives include hefty IPC upgrades, powerful NPUs, and potent iGPU performance.

In conclusion, AMD’s Ryzen desktop CPUs have shown impressive growth in Q1 2024, and with the upcoming launches, the future looks promising for AMD.
