AMD EPYC Reaches 2% Market Share in 2018, 7nm EPYC Rome Expected To Capture Up To 5% Server Market Share – Intel Remains The Undisputed Champ With 98% Market Share
AMD Expected To Capture 5% Server Market Share With 7nm EPYC Rome Processors, Intel Still Trying Hard To Keep Rival x86 Server Market Share Under 15%
Now AMD is on the verge of introducing their 2nd line of EPYC processors codenamed Rome, based on the 7nm process. These are the first CPUs for the server space which will be using the 7nm process node and we already have details on the specs which includes 64 cores, 128 threads, and a totally revamped chip and architecture design that is unlike anything we have seen before.
To go from 1% of market to 2% is a 100% improvement. If they get 5% that's a 400% improvement. If the boost in income is proportional, there will be lots more money to invest in improved designs. The article thinks a 15% market share (up from that original 1%) is actually feasible over a couple years.
