AMD has passed a major milestone in the server CPU market, with data from Mercury Research showing that AMD is now capturing 40% of the entire server CPU market revenue share. In the final quarter of 2025, AMD EPYC server CPUs managed to capture 41.3% of the revenue in the server/data center market that hyperscalers are spending on, underscoring how deeply the company has penetrated large scale deployments. The report describes the server arena as a multi-billion USD data center market, highlighting the growing financial significance of this shift.
Mercury Research notes that the 41.3% revenue share is a 1.8% increase from Q3 2025 and an impressive 4.9% year-over-year growth in the data center segment, indicating steady momentum for AMD against its main rival. For unit share shipment, AMD now stands at 28.8%, meaning the company is actually selling more SKUs at a higher average selling price, which points to a favorable product mix and pricing power. Intel, on the other hand, now holds 71.2% of the unit share while capturing 58.7% of the revenue share, indicating that Intel Xeon processors are now selling for a lower ASP with more units needed to reach this revenue.
The desktop CPU segment shows a similar pattern, with AMD gaining ground not just in volume but in revenue quality. The situation in the desktop segment looks interesting as well, with AMD’s revenue share in the desktop CPU market now at 42.6%, while the unit share is at 36.4%. Again, this means that AMD’s Ryzen processors sell at a higher ASP, nearly capturing half of the desktop CPU revenue with a bit more than a third of the unit sales. This sector also grew 1.6% sequentially, while Ryzen CPUs won the hearts of 14.6% more gamers for a yearly revenue share increase, reflecting growing preference among gaming customers for AMD’s desktop offerings.
