AMD saw significant growth in the desktop and server processor markets in the second quarter of 2025, while experiencing declines in the mobile processor segment. The company finished the first half of the year strong for investors, particularly in terms of revenue growth. While Intel remains the manufacturer with the highest sales volume in the overall consumer CPU market, AMD significantly increased its revenue share by focusing on higher-priced products.

AMD Makes a Breakthrough in the Desktop Processor Market

The company’s performance in the desktop processor segment is remarkable. In Q2 2025, AMD’s desktop CPU unit share rose to 32.2 percent. This represents a 4.2 percent quarter-over-quarter and 9.2 percent year-over-year increase.

Intel, however, saw a decline in the same segment. AMD’s share of desktop processor revenue rose to 39.3 percent. This revenue increase was recorded as 4.9 percent quarter-over-quarter and 20.5 percent year-over-year. AMD’s high-end product lines, Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9, and particularly its X3D series processors, were instrumental in this growth.

Although AMD’s unit share in the overall consumer CPU market fell to 23.9 percent, a 0.2 percent decrease quarter-over-quarter, the year-over-year increase was 2.8 percent. However, the most striking development was the increase in consumer CPU revenue share.

AMD increased its share to 27.8 percent in this segment, achieving a 1.3 percent quarter-over-quarter increase and a 9.8 percent year-over-year increase. This data demonstrates that AMD, despite selling fewer processors, is generating more revenue with its higher-end products.

In the mobile processor market, Intel continues to hold a strong position. The company’s mobile CPU unit share in Q2 2025 was 79.4 percent. Intel achieved a 1.9 percent quarter-over-quarter increase in this market, but a slight 0.3 percent decrease year-over-year.

AMD’s mobile CPU share fell to 20.6 percent, a 1.9 percent quarter-over-quarter decline. This suggests AMD has been declining in the mobile market for two quarters. However, the revenue picture is different; increasing sales of mid-range and high-end products in the company’s laptop processor segment drove up total revenue despite the unit decline.

The data shows that while AMD is experiencing volume challenges in some segments, it continues to steadily increase its overall performance and revenue by strategically focusing on high-margin products.
