Analysts have noted an increase in AMD's share in all segments of the processor market, where it competes with Intel. Desktop x86-compatible processors «red» in the third quarter accounted for 20.1% of all chip shipments to the market; 0.1 percentage points higher than the quarter before and 2.1 percentage points higher than the same period last year. It is safe to say that first and foremost   this is the merit of Ryzen 3rd generation processors on Zen 2 microarchitecture. The direct competitors for them Intel released only in the second quarter of 2020, to which AMD responded by releasing Matisse Refresh in the form of three models Ryzen 3000XT with increased frequencies.
