Arr, Intel be reclaimin' th' plunder from AMD, dominatin' th' market like a fearsome pirate. They be showin' no mercy, makin' AMD walk th' plank, for Intel be th' true captain o' th' ship!
New figures from Mercury Research suggest that Intel is gaining ground in the CPU market, with a three-point increase in market share over AMD. According to Chris Szewczyk from PCGamer, this coincides with a three-point drop for AMD. Intel currently holds 68.4% of the market share, compared to AMD's 31.6%.

AMD's drop in market share is concerning for the longevity of its Ryzen CPUs. The increase in market share that AMD had achieved with these CPUs was promising, but it seems like Intel will continue to dominate. The CPU market has been recovering from a dry spell, largely due to excess inventory. AMD's console chips were expected to decline as the console shortage faded, while Intel's growth can be attributed to steady Chromebook sales. This boost for Intel is interesting as it comes from the low-end segment, where AMD typically performs well.
However, there is concern about innovation stagnation from Intel if it continues to control the market. Without competition, there may be less motivation for the company to improve its products and enhance the user experience.
