Intel vs. AMD CPU prediction (2025-2030)
Now let’s see if the current growth of AMD continues then how much market share AMD will secure in this decade (2025 to 2030).
AMD’s rising popularity in gaming PCs and laptops, driven by its Ryzen processors’ superior multi-threaded performance and affordability, could significantly challenge Intel in this space.
However, Intel’s stronghold in business laptops and desktop computers, where stability and power efficiency are critical, is expected to remain steady, ensuring it retains a large share of the enterprise market.
| Year | Intel Market Share Prediction | AMD Market Share Prediction |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | ~68.96% | ~31.04% |
| 2026 | ~66.92% | ~33.08% |
| 2027 | ~64.88% | ~35.12% |
| 2028 | ~62.84% | ~37.16% |
| 2029 | ~60.80% | ~39.20% |
