    Data Center CPU Market Projected to Expand to $210.6B by 2030 on AI Agents

    Question

    Data Center CPU Market Projected to Expand to $210.6B by 2030 on AI Agents

    Direct answer

    Industry forecasts project the global data center CPU market will expand from $61.4 billion in 2025 to $210.6 billion by 2030. The growth is fueled by agentic AI deployment, where multi-step reasoning and tool execution require elevated CPU processing relative to discrete GPU accelerators. The shift represents an expanding addressable market for server processor designers and architecture IP licensors across hyperscale cloud infrastructure.
