Going by this... https://www.cpubenchmark.net/market_share.html Intel still has 90%+ of the server market. It only just started moving over to AMD. They did gain a lot of ground over Intel in the desktop market though.

That chart shows the installed base at the end of each quarter, not sales in each quarter - see note below the chart. So current Intel sales are likely significantly less than 90% of the server market.

Though it's not even really a first for Intel. They made the Xeon 9200 series two years ago, and while those were slapdash and hard to buy, it's hard to argue that they don't deserve this crown. Two dies in a single package, each with 28 cores and memory controllers and I/O. Even when Intel moves to heterogeneous dies, that won't actually be a first for them, even in the modern era. Several early i3/i5/i7 models had…

The 9200 was a reaction to AMD's EPYC so surely AMD gets the crown?

I wonder if they'll call it "glued-together". https://www.pcgamer.com/intel-slide-criticizes-amd-for-using... The 4 die SoC does look an awful lot like 1st gen EPYC.

It's especially ironic because Intel had also previously "glued together" chiplets for the C2Qs and their equivalent Xeons (e.g. X3200 series). > The 2 × 2 "quad-core" (dual-die dual-core[17]) comprised two separate dual-core die next to each other in one CPU package.

AMD can’t make enough chips to take 50% of the current sales market yet alone 90%… you do understand that both Intel and AMD publish reports each quarter so we know how much revenue they generate in each segment right?

How about reading more carefully before being so patronizing. I just said Intel likely has less than 90% market share now. I never said AMD has 90%. Sheesh.

AMD’s Q2 revenue for enterprise, semi-custom and embedded is $1.6B, Intel’s datacenter revenue for Q2 was $6.5B. Intel still outsells AMD by at least 3 to 1 in datacenter and perhaps even a bit more in terms of volume since AMD has almost no entry level systems unlike Intel.
