Intel remains Chipzilla, at least according to the latest data from Canalyst. The shipment difference is so large that not even all of its rivals combined can challenge it. Additionally, thanks to Meteor Lake and Raptor Lake Refresh, Intel managed to seize market share from its two main competitors and dealt a psychological blow to the largest company in the world. These are the CPU sales for PCs and laptops for Q4 of 2023.
The data is truly overwhelming and also interesting, because the markets have shifted significantly. There are two charts that, besides what has been mentioned, also reflect the use of AICs by all manufacturers except, obviously, Apple, which is represented as a company and manufacturer.
Intel crushes all global CPU manufacturers in shipments and sales in Q4 of 2023
There is no other way to see it when one has the chart in front of them. With over 78% market share compared to AMD and Apple in Q4 2023, more than 50 million processors sold, and a 3% year-on-year increase compared to the same period in 2022, there is little to argue.
AMD has managed to place a fairly significant number of CPUs, totaling over 8 million units, but interestingly, it loses 1% of total shipments year-on-year. In contrast, Apple has suffered the most and confirms its downward trend, as it has lost 4% of all shipments to place just over 6 million CPUs.
Other manufacturers haven’t even reached a million, and among Mediatek, Qualcomm, and Arm, it is necessary to mention the second one, due to its staggering loss of 17% after leaving the notebook market to prepare for the PC market.
As supplementary information, APAC (Asia-Pacific), EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), and China have driven desktop and laptop processor sales. Meanwhile, LATAM and the U.S. have leaned more towards tablets and some laptops.
Which brand and manufacturer sells more?
Well, for the same quarter last year, based on Intel, AMD, Mediatek, and Qualcomm, the top-selling brand worldwide is Acer. They hold 83% of Qualcomm chips, 34% of Mediatek chips, 6% of AMD chips, and 7% of Intel chips.
This is closely related to the revenue level, as although it drops slightly because the competition is usually more expensive, the data remains to a greater or lesser extent. From there, Lenovo takes over as second in the ranking, with more than half of Mediatek chips, almost half of AMD chips, and no less than 25% of Intel chips.
Similar to Acer, revenues remain proportionate to sales. As for the podium finishers, HP and ASUS are widely distributed among Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm, since while one wins in shipments, the other seems to respond with revenues.
In conclusion, the data is somewhat confusing when it comes to sales, as although Intel is crushing its rivals, when segmenting the data, it becomes clear that in PCs, AMD has over 40% market share, leaving Intel with just over 50%. However, in laptops, the difference is drastic and opposite, which is where the blue team achieves the figures shown by Canalyst.
In this segment, Chipzilla holds almost 80% of the global market share for laptop processors, with AMD currently just above 20%. So, Intel is achieving its revenue figures with notebooks and is in a tough battle with AMD in PCs right now.
