Intel Claws Back Desktop PC and Notebook Market Share From AMD, First Time in Three Years
https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-claws-back-desktop-pc-market-share-from-amd-for-the-first-time-in-three-years
The Mercury Research CPU market share results are in for the fourth quarter of 2020, with the headline news being that, during the quarter, Intel has clawed back share from AMD in the desktop PC market for the first time in three years. Intel also stopped its slide in notebook PCs, gaining share for the first time in three years. AMD lost share in the overall x86 market during the quarter, but notched a solid gain for the year. Meanwhile, AMD continued to make slow but steady gains in the server market.

Just as some additional information, the increase from Intel comes mostly from the low-end, as in Pentium and especially Atom chips, many of which aparently went into chromebooks.

The same increase however didn't happen on the mid-range or high-end market. As a result, after the curious blip last month (in December, intel processors in the 2.7-3ghz range had an almost 50% increase, which is gone again now), AMD is back to stealing market share from Intel, reaching 28% market share under Windows and 33.5% under Linux.

Speaking about steam and stock issues, Polaris, Vega and 1st gen Navi all have quite big increases, probably all due to the fact that they were actually available to buy...
