Global Processors (CPU) for Desktop Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Processors (CPU) for Desktop market size was valued at US$ 12590 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 18180 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 5.4% during review period.

Desktop CPUs are central processing units specifically designed for desktop computers. They have relatively high base frequencies and thermal design power (TDP), enabling them to maintain stable performance under continuous heavy loads. Usually, they support multi - core and multi - threading architectures to enhance parallel computing capabilities.

Their technical features include support for overclocking, provision of more PCIe lanes to expand peripheral connection capabilities, and the adoption of advanced manufacturing processes (such as 5nm or 7nm) to improve energy efficiency and computing density. These CPUs generally have strong single - core performance to optimize response speed, while also meeting high - intensity computing requirements through multi - core optimization. They rely on efficient cooling solutions (such as air cooling or water cooling) to control the temperature during long - term high - load operation. Some high - end models also support advanced instruction sets (such as AVX - 512) and memory overclocking technology to further enhance data throughput and computing precision.

In the mainstream market, Intel and AMD's desktop CPUs occupy the vast majority of the market share. With their unique characteristics, they offer users different options to meet diverse usage needs. In 2024, AMD's market share in the CPU market exceeded Intel's for the first time, reaching 55%.
