Amd epyc reaches 2% of server market share in 2018

A recent DRAMeXchange report has revealed that AMD has managed to increase its market share in the server segment by up to 2%. Compared to 1% a few months ago, the numbers may not be very high, but considering that the server market itself is a multi-billion dollar industry, these digit gains could be worth millions of dollars in revenue, which would mean A good boost for AMD as they were virtually out of the server market before EPYC processors were released.

AMD hopes that in 2019, they can get a 5% share thanks to EPYC Rome

With this scenario, AMD hopes that in 2019, they can achieve a 5% market share in servers, thanks in large part to the launch of AMD EPYC 'Rome' processors manufactured in 7nm.

The report states that the x86 architecture remains the dominant choice for server CPUs and that the only two giants that cover this market are Intel and AMD. Although Intel is on a whole different level, AMD was once very competitive in this field, but its Opteron line failed to keep pace with Intel's server offerings.

With the EPYC Naples, AMD managed to shake up the market with stellar performance and energy efficiency at competitive prices, but it couldn't do much against Intel's efforts and marketing a decade ago in the server space. Now AMD is about to introduce its second line of EPYC processors, dubbed Rome, based on the 7nm process. These are the first CPUs for the server space that will use the 7nm process node that will include 64 cores, 128 threads, surpassing in number of cores the best Intel proposal.

With EPYC 'Rome', AMD hopes to double or triple its presence in the server segment, as it has not been seen for many years.
