pool adsAdvanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD) Is Growing At Its Peers’ Expense
According to the latest data released by Mercury Research, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMD) has gained some market share from its competitors in the CPU and GPU segments. The report indicates that AMD gained significant market share in the CPU industry from its main rival Intel Corporation (NASDAQ: INTC) while at the same time taking market share in the GPU market from the dominant player NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA).
The Mercury Research report further estimated that AMD gained about 6.3% in the GPU market against NVidia on a quarterly basis in the fourth quarter. The report further estimates that NVidia lost part of its GPU market due to the popularity of AMD Vega processors that were the preferred choice among cryptocurrency miners and gamers.

AMD also gained significant ground in the CPU market where it increased its desktop CPU market by 2.1% on an annualized basis and its Server market by an annualized 0.5%. The popularity of its Ryzen processors, which were fairly priced and delivered excellent performance in comparison to the more expensive Intel chips, contributed significantly to AMD’s expansion in the CPU market.
Our combined analysis of the chipmaker indicates that the company’s revenues are likely to dip in the next quarter as was the case in Q4 2017 given the cyclical nature of the semiconductor industry. The company is also expected to report much lower quarterly growth as compared to the previous quarter, but this might change driven by demand in the cryptocurrency mining and gaming markets as well as the demand for Ryzen laptop processors.
The company’s annual growth rate is expected to register a major spike driven by some of the factors mentioned above. The company is likely to continue taking market share from industry leaders NVidia and Intel if it continues to develop chips with excellent performance at lower prices. In the past, AMD was focused on selling its chips at lower prices to remain competitive, but its latest chips are competing based on performance.
