For the first time ever, AMD outsells Intel in the datacenter space
But both fall far behind sales of Nvidia's AI GPUs.
Intel just can't get a break.
I will speculate that Nvidia's performance is not sustainable in the medium to long term (at least if the current trend of missing revenue generating use cases for "AI" continues).
Intel has somehow managed to make slower chips, that use more power, that also murder themselves due to manufacturing errors.
Intel is in a really bad place and they are going to have a hard time clawing this market share back. They completely dominated this space 10 years ago, and they have been slowly losing it for awhile now.
To be perfectly fair, the issue you brought up only applies to the high end Intel 13th and 14th gen desktop processors. The article however is about datacenter processors. Anecdotally, ever since EPYC was released I’ve only been buying AMD processors for my datacenter. It was an awkward couple of years with the Intel sales reps who would downplay the arrival of 10nm when there was delay after delay.
I have a new PC coming tomorrow and it's an AMD.
I was just really happy when I was doing my research, logged on to AMD's site, and saw that they make drivers for Linux. I'm planning to use my new PC for gaming on Windows, with a USB stick-boot for Mint so I can do everything non-gaming in privacy.
Gaming on Linux has grown by leaps and bounds, especially if you use steam/proton (And you can run proton on things outside of steam). You should give it a shot before you install Windows to see if it can fit your needs, and only have to deal with 1 operating system.
I use Garuda Linux, and it comes pre-configured to work very well for gaming.
Hola, and thank you for the suggestion.
I ran a Mint / Windows dual boot last summer for about six weeks, and only 2/3 of my gaming library was compatible with Linux, so unfortunately, for me it's necessary to have a Windows install. I'm not dual booting anymore due to compatibility issues, but love that I can boot from USB and do pretty much everything I need to do non-gaming wise.
