If AMD’s Ryzen processors are so good and selling out, how does Intel still retain a higher market share?
In: Economics
A few basic things probably explain this;
* People don’t upgrade their systems completely that often
* Many CPUs make their way to 2nd hand markets
* You often read about the cutting edge tech, not commonly bought lower end products
AMD made a huge comeback in 2017, many people still maintain their systems in one way or another since then. Although AMD now has a slight advantage in desktop CPU market.
Intel is still dominant in laptop CPU market share. AMD has just recently managed to deliver attractive options in this segment, and again, people don’t buy new laptops every year.
Intel is still dominant in the server space, this I will mainly attribute to server infrastructure being replaced way less often than people believe. You don’t want to replace working essential hardware, you avoid it as much as possible.
