AMD has once again recorded share growth in the x86 CPU segment with the server and mobile segments seeing the biggest gains in Q2 2024.

AMD Sees Growth In EPYC “Server” & Ryzen “Mobile” Segment As Its x86 CPU Share Continues To Grow, Desktop Share Declines In Preparation For Ryzen 9000 Launch

Mercury Research has shared the latest x86 CPU market statistics which show continued gains for AMD, both in market and revenue share, across the client and server segments. In Q2 2024, AMD prepped itself for the launch of its next-generation Zen 5 portfolio which kicked off with Ryzen AI 300 “Strix” laptops last month and will soon be getting the Ryzen 9000 Desktop chips. On servers, AMD is expected to launch its 5th Gen EPYC “Turin” CPUs which will launch later this year….

AMD unveiled a line of tiny Epyc processors designed to compete with Intel’s entry-level E-2400 Xeons.

Unlike the rest of AMD’s Epyc lineup, its latest 4004-series processors don’t use the SP5 or SP6 sockets, instead opting for the comparatively tiny AM5 platform.

In fact, aside from some enterprise-centric features and validation, these aren’t exactly new chips. Peel back the heat spreader and you’ll find a familiar chiplet architecture, with up to two eight-core compute dies and a single central I/O die. These chiplets are based on TSMC’s 5nm and 6nm process tech, respectively.

If that sounds at all familiar, it’s because the silicon underpinning these chips has been around for the better part of two years,…
