    AMD Expands Server CPU Share to 34.5% Leveraging TSMC Advanced Node Capacity

    Question

    AMD Expands Server CPU Share to 34.5% Leveraging TSMC Advanced Node Capacity

    Direct answer

    AMD has expanded its server processor market footprint to 34.5%, up from 3.2% in 2018. The sustained shift in enterprise and hyperscaler CPU procurement has inverted the historical valuation spread between AMD and Intel. AMD relies on TSMC for leading-edge process nodes, allowing AMD to maintain architectural density and power efficiency advantages over Intel. Intel's delayed node transitions have accelerated server socket conversions toward EPYC platforms across major cloud providers.
