The focus on high-end processors and a corresponding decline in demand for Chromebooks hurt entry-level PC chips in Q3. "That pretty much drives processor suppliers to focus on high-end products, like a Core i9 or i7 versus a Celeron," McCarron said.

With Ryzen and Epyc parts, AMD measures up to Intel with a full stack of offerings from entry-level personal computers to gaming boxen to servers. Perhaps AMD undersold itself with its Buster Douglas analogy at the launch of its Zen family. In another corner, Intel is being pecked away at by x86 rival AMD, which has been taking market share away since its Ryzen chips starting appearing in PCs, and Epyc microprocessors in servers, in 2017. The super-corp has also gone through its fair share of personal computer CPU architectures, notably from 6502 to 68000 to PowerPC to x86, and not only has experience with these transitions but has been designing its own Arm cores for years. The numbers reinforce Apple's strength as a silicon design powerhouse.

That market share growth may level off once the Mac upgrade cycle slows down, but that remains to be seen, he added. "Apple transitioned much more quickly than anyone expected," McCarron said, adding the Arm share numbers also included shipments of Arm processors in Chromebooks.Īpple transitioned much more quickly than anyone expectedĪrm's PC processor market share will continue to expand as consumers upgrade Intel-based Macs to ones with Apple's chips, McCarron said.
