In servers, AMD accounted for 23.1 percent of market sales in Q4, up from 17.6 percent a year earlier, although server CPU shipments were up across the board.
For desktop CPUs, AMD outgrew Intel, accounting for 19.8 percent of the market in Q4 against 18.6 percent a year earlier. Mercury attributed this to growth in both the "Raphael" Ryzen chips and a surprise uptick in "Vermeer", the previous performance desktop generation based on Zen 3 cores.
In mobile chips, the market share growth was even greater, with AMD hitting 20.3 percent in Q4, up from 16.4 percent for the same period a year earlier.
