AMD hits record 25.6% share of the overall x86 market

Citiraj:

AMD continues to make gains in market share against Intel in the x86 processor market. According to a new report from Mercury Research, AMD in Q4 2021 enjoyed a 25.6 percent share of the overall market for CPUs built on the x86 architecture, the highest it’s seen since 2006. It’s also a 3.6 percent year-over-year increase, which isn’t bad considering the ongoing chip shortage. To put things in context, AMD has been gaining market share against Intel for 11 quarters in a row, especially when it comes to PC, console, and IoT x86 products. The only exception was in the area of desktop and laptop processors, where Intel managed to claw back some market share in the three months ending in December 2021. This was mostly thanks to Tiger Lake mobile parts and a combination of Rocket Lake and Comet Lake desktop products.

AMD has recieved all required approvals for its Xilinx acquisition

Citiraj:

AMD has confirmed that they have recieved all required approvals for its Xilinx acquisition to go ahead, stating that the deal should be closed on February 14th 2022, neatly marrying the two companies on Valentine's day. Once their acquisition of Xilinx is concluded, AMD and Xilinx will have access to each other's IP, free cashflow and expertise. AMD's branding and customer relations should help Xilinx's products find more customers, and AMD will benefit in Xilinx's expertise in creasing cutting-edge accelerators and FPGAs. AMD will be able to access more market, and AMD will be able to compete with Intel in more areas. Together, AMD and Xilinx expects to cut their annual costs by $300 million per year once both companies are integrated, money which can be channelled into other areas to increase the efficiency of the now merged companies.

AMD surpasses Intel's market cap for the first time ever

Citiraj:

AMD’s fortunes have turned around since the launch of its first Zen architecture in 2017, though few would have expected it to hit this milestone in such a short amount of time: AMD now has a larger market cap than rival Intel for the first time ever. The sudden boost in AMD’s market cap came from its $49 billion all-stock takeover of Xilinx on Monday, 15 months after the move was announced. The change in the companies’ stock prices added 40% extra to the deal; it was worth $35 billion back when first AMD revealed its intentions. The acquisition is one of the largest in tech history, sitting behind Dell paying $67 billion for EMC in 2015 and Microsoft's recent purchase of Activision Blizzard for $68.7 billion. The increase in the number of shares saw AMD’s market cap jump to $197.75 billion, pushing it past Intel’s $197.24 billion by $51 million.
