AMD's Ryzen 3000 is challenging Intel significantly, and it appears AMD is gaining ground in the CPU market. The future of Intel may depend on whether they can keep up with TSMC's 7nm and 5nm advancements.
In reality, the desktop processor market is seeing minimal expansion. Buyers are stuck in lengthy upgrade phases, and with the impact of COVID-19, few anticipate purchasing new processors. People are becoming more careful with their finances. I foresee a shift in focus toward basic needs like food, as many have lost jobs—don’t expect significant spending on luxury items such as computers. Still, we all recognize who delivers superior performance; however, during tough times, those priorities often fade away.
Essentially, they remain strong in the large OEM and prebuilt sectors, though Intel still leads in laptops—changes might come soon. The server space is shifting toward AMD, and supercomputers are firmly tied to AMD as well. What I’m saying is, even if a product isn’t great, it doesn’t always stop being useful; the situation is much more nuanced than that.
AMD gradually takes over the server sector. Check out the major cloud companies (AWS, GCP, Azure) now providing EPYC choices. I’m hoping for it, but by then they’ll be using 5nm.
I believe Intel might introduce significant updates to their CPU designs in response to AMD's advancements.
Intel's 14nm technology outperforms TSMC's 7nm in certain areas. Will the company's 7nm process become significant?
They've been working with the 14nm technology for several years now, giving them deep knowledge of it.
