AMD's desktop PC market share skyrockets amid Intel's Raptor Lake CPU crashing scandal — AMD makes biggest leap in recent history


Though Intel says it was an inventory adjustment at one of its customers.

During the quarter, AMD launched its new Ryzen 9000-series family of processors amid a scandal related to stability issues with Intel's Raptor Lake chips, which generated a flood of negative press for the company over the course of several months, and inventory adjustments for one of Intel's customers. AMD's biggest breakthrough in the third quarter was, of course, gaining 5.7 pp of unit share of the desktop x86 CPU market. In the laptop segment, AMD saw steady growth compared to both the previous quarter (+2 pp) and the same period last year (+2.8 pp), perhaps because the company launched its Ryzen AI 300-series products slightly ahead of Intel's Lunar Lake and could sell more of these new products to early adopters of x86-based Copilot+ PCs.
