Worldwide Server CPU Market Share and Forecast, 1Q26

Jim Hines — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Pivot Table examines the performance of the server CPU market through several market views. For the period 1Q20–1Q26, quarterly unit shipments and revenue by vendor and processor architecture are included, as well as unit shipments by channel to customer, socket design capability, and system category. The data tables include a five-year forecast of annual unit shipments and revenue by processor architecture and unit shipments by channel to customer, socket design capability, and system category.

A server CPU is designed with the intent to be used in a computing system expressly configured, marketed, and sold as a server. However, while server CPUs are most often used in servers, they may also be used in workstations, storage appliances, networking appliances, security appliances, and embedded systems.

Companies covered include IBM, Oracle Corp., Advanced Micro Devices Inc., Amazon Web Services Inc., Intel Corp., HiSilicon Technologies Co. Ltd., and NVIDIA.

AWS New York Summit 2026: Implications for IaaS in the Agentic AI Era

Jasdeep Singh — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

AWS' infrastructure commitment at the Summit reflects a multiyear buildout strategy. The $200 billion AI infrastructure commitment for 2026, spanning 39 global regions, 123 availability zones, and 4 GW of new power capacity added in 2025, provides the physical foundation for what AWS describes as its "silicon to agentic solutions" architecture. AWS has publicly stated a goal to double total compute capacity by the end of 2027, a signal that demand projections are running ahead of existing provisioned capacity. The new agentic services — AgentCore Harness, AWS Context, Amazon Quick, and AWS Continuum — indicate that AI Factories offer more than compute capacity alone, evolving toward an integrated infrastructure foundation designed to support and scale enterprise AI workloads.

Accelerated Compute Adoption Dynamics — IT Buyer Report, 2026

Chris Drake — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 04:00:00 GMT

This IDC Tech Buyer Presentation explores insights from IDC’s 2025 Enterprise Infrastructure Pulse Compute Survey, which collects responses from over 880 leaders and decision-makers in IT roles from across diverse industry sectors. IDC’s Enterprise Infrastructure Pulse Compute is one of four quarterly surveys of experts responsible for purchasing IT infrastructure. Taking the pulse of the enterprise IT market, it offers valuable analyst insights into infrastructure adoption and trends.

This IDC Tech Buyer Presentation offers insights into the procurement of accelerated compute infrastructure, including server platforms that incorporate GPUs, FPGAs, ASICs, and DPUs from leading industry providers. It examines the extent to which individual accelerated compute technologies, including those from specific vendors, are perceived to be a purchase inhibitor. It also elaborates on the reasons why those accelerated compute technologies are associated with specific purchase inhibitors and gives advice to IT buyers on what to consider when selecting an accelerated compute platform.

“All leading accelerator technologies are associated with certain purchase inhibitors, including concerns about their contribution to overall cost, as well as skill set requirements and integration challenges. IT buyers may therefore benefit from shopping around,” says Chris Drake, senior research director, Compute and Service Provider Infrastructure at IDC. “Accelerated compute purchase decisions should be guided by a clear understanding of the desired business outcome. A total cost of ownership assessment should also be accompanied by an evaluation of software ecosystem readiness and vendor support offered.”
