Intel Works To Gain An Upper Hand Over Nvidia In The Data Center Coprocessor Market

Though Intel is the leader in data centers microprocessor market, with more than 90% market share, it has more recently lagged in the market for coprocessors, where Nvidia has generated momentum. Whereas Intel is dominant in the microprocessor market at large, Nvidia has successfully identified this coprocessor niche where it has garnered significant market share. This is reflected in their recent growth rates. While Intel witnessed a mere 13% year over year growth in its revenue from the Data Center Group in Q3 2017, Nvidia data center revenues nearly tripled during the same period. Of course, Intel's data center revenues are a vast multiple of Nvidia's.
