According to the latest statistics released by market research firm Counterpoint, Apple will account for more than 90 percent of the ARM-chipped laptop market in 2022. This is mainly due to Apple’s Apple Silicon chip, which gives it a completely dominant position in the ARM laptop market.
Apple debuted the M1 chip in the 2020 MacBook lineup, featuring superior power management and long battery life.
In a short period of time, ARM-based laptops began to gain market share, from less than 2% to more than 12% by the end of 2022, according to Counterpoint Research.
Apple dominates the ARM laptop market with a 90% share in 2022. Apple’s migration to its own CPU designs is proving to be a shot in the arm for vendors looking to develop ARM-based solutions.
In addition to Apple, MediaTek and Qualcomm are also actively pushing ARM chips for PCs and servers. Qualcomm is expected to launch its Oryon CPU this fall, and Qualcomm and MediaTek’s solutions could see more than 50 percent year-over-year growth in ARM laptops over the 2024-2025 period.
ARM-based laptops will have up to 25 percent of the market by 2027, which doesn’t bode well for either Intel or AMD.
