2021 Server Leaders: Server CPUs

Perennial Brand Leader Intel Does it Again for Server CPUs

IT pros repeated the voting they have delivered in every server CPU brand leader survey since 2009. Intel was selected as the brand leader in every category except price. AMD was voted the Price leader. If AMD, Ampere, and NVIDIA ever take meaningful market share, this survey could become competitive.

Container management platforms are a key battleground because they will control most workloads in the world’s data centers. Today there is no clear brand leader with IT pros choosing Amazon, Microsoft, and Red Hat as leaders in at least one category.
