AMD Vs. Intel, processor market Q2 figures rocks the 7nm, Zen 2 architecture. We have finally received the final report on the stock market share of processors for the second quarter of 2019. Expectations are high and AMD fans and the stock market are on the upswing following the introduction of AMD’s 7nm CPUs. It all comes in front of the arrival of Ryzen in July, so everyone is saying that share dominance in the stock market will rise significantly in the third quarter.
AMD maintains its stock market share in the second quarter pending the impact of Ryzen 3000
Processors in the AMD Ryzen 3000 series are highly competitive against the Intel desktop processor line, with both price and performance, expecting a significant increase in stock market share. In the process, AMD is transforming Intel’s dominance in several markets with the advantage of a smaller 7nm manufacturing process along with the new Zen 2 microarchitecture, but the latest market share report covers the period up to the 7nm era, so the new improved Zen 2 chips have not yet left a significant mark. Ryzen’s 3000 series processors began shipping early in the second quarter, but these figures are still too early to be noticed.
When you look at the stock figures, in desktop CPUs, AMD was able to maintain its market share at 17.1%, the same level as in the first quarter. It is interesting to note that AMD gained ground with a growth of 4.8% compared to its market share a year ago.
It is important to remember that seasonality applies and there are currently many stock market disruptions due to the effects of the current trade war between the US and China. Despite everything, AMD has seen a solid 4.8% increase in the share of desktop devices compared to last year.
In the third quarter, what are the expected figures? It’s hard to risk, but we wouldn’t be surprised by a record increase from quarter to quarter.
