Why Intel Surpasses Nvidia as AMD’s Toughest Competitor in 2023
In the tech industry’s intense competition between AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) and its long-time rival, Nvidia, a new contender has emerged. Intel regained the leading position in the global CPU market share in Q1 2022 with a 28% share, surpassing AMD’s 24%. This trend is not recent; Intel has been steadily gaining ground against AMD.
Historically, AMD focused on producing powerful GPUs for gaming and professional markets, while leaving CPUs to Intel. However, with Intel’s recent struggles in the CPU space, AMD seized the opportunity to challenge Intel head-on. For instance, AMD’s Ryzen 9 5900X outperforms Intel’s Core i9-10900K in multithreaded tasks.
Dr. Jon Peddie, President of JPR, stated that Intel has been losing market share in the CPU space for some time, and AMD capitalized on this by releasing high-performance CPUs popular among consumers. While Nvidia remains a formidable competitor in the GPU market, Intel’s resurgence poses an even greater challenge to AMD in 2023.
