x86 

x86 is a group of computer architectures that was initially developed by Intel based on the 8086 microprocessor and its 8088 variant. Intel had many successors to Intel’s 8086 processor that ended in “86” like 80186, 80286, 80386, and 80486 processors thus the term “x86” was introduced. Over the years, additions have been made in the x86 class. 

Many companies like IBM, SIM, NEC, AMD, VIA Technologies, Fujitsu, OKI, C&T, NecGen, Cyrix, Siemens, Intersil, UMC, and DM&P have designed and manufactured x86 processors (CPUs) for personal computers and embedded systems. Yet, only Intel and AMD are active producers. Therefore this article shows Intel and AMD x86 desktop’s market share.

Its desktop PCs offer strong performance, reliability, unmatched flexibility, and smart design features. Its design ranges from small mini PCs to sleek all-in-ones to ultra-performance workstations. 

In Q1 2021, Intel had witnessed a shift to greater sales of lower-end desktop products.

In Q1 2021, Intel’s desktop market share was 80.70% which has decreased by 70 basis points year-over-year from 81.40% in Q1 2020. However, from Q4 2020 to Q1 2021, there has not been any change in Intel’s desktop market share.

AMD

AMD’s desktop applications include the AMD Ryzen series processors and AMD Athlon, processors. In 2020 AMD expanded the 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen desktop processor group by adding AMD Ryzen 3 3100 and AMD Ryzen 3 3300X processors that have “Zen 2” core architecture especially for business users, gamers, and creators. In July 2020, AMD introduced AMD Ryzen 4000 series and AMD Athlon 3000 series desktop processors with built-in Radeon graphics that provides power efficiency to gamers, creators, streamers, and other consumers. It also provides an added feature of multi-layered security. AMD’s biggest launch was AMD Ryzen 5000 Series desktop processor that was made in October 2020.

In Q1 2021, AMD’s Desktop market share was 19.30% which had increased by 70 basis points year-over-year from 18.60% of Q1 2020.
