The final report on the processor market share for the second quarter of 2019 has finally arrived. Hopes are high, and AMD fans and the stock market are on the rise following the launch of AMD's 7nm CPUs. All of this comes before Ryzen's arrival in July, so everyone predicts that this number will increase significantly in the third quarter.

AMD maintains its market share in the second quarter pending the impact of Ryzen 3000

AMD's Ryzen 3000 series processors are ultra-competitive with Intel's line of desktop processors, both in price and performance, so a significant market share increase is expected.

AMD is about to alter Intel's dominance in multiple markets with the advantage of a smaller 7nm manufacturing process alongside the new Zen 2 microarchitecture, but the latest market share report covers the pre-era era of the 7nm, so the new powered Zen 2 chips have yet to leave a significant mark. Ryzen 3000 series processors began shipping early in the second quarter, but these numbers are at an early stage to take effect.

Looking at the figures, AMD kept its desktop CPU market share at 17.1%, the same as in the first quarter. The most interesting thing here is that AMD managed to gain ground when compared to the market share it had a year ago, with growth of 4.8%.

We must bear in mind that seasonality applies, and currently, there is a lot of disruption in the market due to the impact of the current trade war between the United States and China. Compared to last year, AMD has seen a solid 4.8% increase in the share of desktop units, despite everything.

What figures to expect in the third quarter? It is difficult to risk, but we would not be surprised by a record rise from quarter to quarter. We will keep you informed.
