Puget Systems has released its latest market share statistics which show Intel leading the desktop client segment versus AMD CPUs.
Intel Claws Back Through All AMD Ryzen Advanced In Client Desktop CPU Market Share But Loses In Workstation Segment
The data published by Puget Systems include all of their system orders throughout 2021-2022. The systems mostly include workstation PCs and list them by per order instead of total unit sales. Some orders have been filtered out as they can cause random spikes within the stats. So starting with the details, we first have the client desktop CPU segment which comprises the Intel Core & AMD Ryzen CPUs.
To summarize some of the bigger trends:
In 2022, Intel took the lead in the client CPU space for us, completely flipping our ratio of AMD Ryzen and Intel Core CPUs from the previous year. However, AMD didn’t budge in the workstation space, with Threadripper PRO sales outpacing Intel Xeon by nearly 20:1.
GPU and storage sales were fairly consistent: market share for the NVIDIA RTX cards increased a bit relative to GeForce, but NVMe drives continue to dominate for storage.
Lastly, Windows 11 was (and continues to be) a slow burn, taking almost a year after launch for it to pass Windows 10 in terms of market share.
In the client desktop CPU segment, it looks like AMD Ryzen CPUs were the clear choice throughout 2021 but ever since the launch of 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs which offered more core counts than the previous generation, consumers have gone back to Chipzilla and its offerings. Throughout this year, Intel CPUs enjoyed a 70% market share on average while AMD CPUs fell down to just 30% of the sales at Puget Systems. Intel and AMD launched their latest 13th Gen and Ryzen 7000 CPUs at the end of 2022 so we will have to see the next report for 2023 to see how well those did in client PCs.
Moving over to the workstation segment, well this is the complete opposite and since 2021, AMD has been the undisputed leader with its Threadripper and Threadripper Pro parts. The AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPUs commanded leadership throughout 2021 but seemed to give away the market to the Threadripper Pro lineup. This is due to AMD’s exclusivity with certain OEMs to offer Pro PCs earlier than others. Furthermore, the Threadripper Pro has been a controversial launch as the line has not seen a proper DIY launch like the previous Threadripper 1000 and 2000 SKUs. The 3000 & 5000 SKUs have mostly been OEM offerings but since those are the only way to get higher core counts, workstation users are going down that route.

Intel also introduced its latest Workstation CPUs codenamed Sapphire Rapids in Xeon W-3400 & Xeon W-2400 this year while AMD’s next-gen Threadripper chips are expected to launch by end of this year.
Other stats showed that the vast majority of PC builders have now moved to NVMe-based storage systems with SATA SSD and NVMe down to single-digit and even 0% share. For OS, Windows 11 has more or less caught up and even exceeded that Windows 10 in the second half of 2022. With newer Ryzen 7000 Non-X and X3D CPUs, we can certainly expect AMD to see a higher share in 2023 while a heated battle is expected in the workstation segment.
