Mercury Research just released, their Q4 2019 x86 Processor Report, which once again demonstrates that AMD’s growth continues with the company gaining further traction in all three of the key x86 segments – notebook, desktop and server - with nine consecutive quarters of growth in notebook and desktop.

AMD-powered laptops from major OEMs increased by 50 percent in 2019, helping to drive AMD notebook share, excluding IoT, up 1.5 share points quarter over quarter, and up 4 share points year over year, hitting 16.2%.

Thanks to the strength of powerful new processors launched in Q4, like the Ryzen 9 3950X and the 3 rd generation Threadripper family, desktop, excluding IoT, also increased, with AMD share moving up 0.3 share points quarter over quarter, and 2.4 share points year over year, hitting 18.3%.

generation Threadripper family, desktop, excluding IoT, also increased, with AMD share moving up 0.3 share points quarter over quarter, and 2.4 share points year over year, hitting 18.3%. The ramp of 2 nd generation EPYC processors, launched mid-2019, has been significantly faster than 1st generation, thanks to performance and TCO advantages over the competition. This in turn has helped drive share gains for AMD server, excluding IoT, of 0.2 share points quarter over quarter, and 1.4 share points year over year, hitting 4.5%.

Exiting Q4 2019, AMD has established a very competitive product portfolio across all three major segments, placing it in a strong position for 2020.
