It is the first time that AMD has ever crossed Intel since Q1 of 2006 when it occupied a 53.9 percent lead.

Speaking of the Laptop segment, Intel is still way ahead of AMD. It currently occupies 83.8 percent share while AMD sits on 16.3 percent. But the difference is nothing when we compare the market share in the server space. Intel occupies a whopping 98.6 percent market share whereas AMD has just 1.4 percent.
