Even without Zen 3 CPUs, AMD holds 84.92% share
People are pumped with AMD’s latest Ryzen 5000 series processors, however, their low availability remains a big issue. Still, without any Zen 3 CPU, AMD is dominating the sales chart as per the latest Mindfactory report by TechEpiphany.
Intel was far behind the Ryzen 3000 in terms of sales and now it seems even without Ryzen 5000 series in full fledge, the Blue team cannot catch AMD. I was quite sceptical about the Ryzen 3000XT CPUs, but it seems AMD knew this condition would arise, so the same priced 3000XT CPUs have become much more popular.
The midweek sales show all of the Ryzen 5, 7 and 9 CPUs selling like hotcakes and the top three being AMD’s Ryzen 7 3700X, Ryzen 5 3600XT and Ryzen 5 3600. Unsurprisingly, among the top 10 best selling CPUs, all of them were from AMD.
Intel though had better sales for the mid-range CPUs like Core i7-10700K, Core i5-10600K or the flagship Core i9-10850K. Intel’s 9th gen CPUs also provide good value when they are discounted, whereas AMD’s budget Ryzen 3 3100 or Ryzen 5 2600 or Ryzen 7 2700X still holds better value than newer ones.
As wee see a total of 5490 AMD CPUs were sold with respect to Intel’s 975 units, and in terms of revenue AMD holds 82.41% revenue whereas Intel manages only 17.59%, even without the Ryzen 5000 series CPUs. With days, as the condition eases, Intel could see single-digit figures, as well as Ryzen 5000, is better for gaming than 10th Gen Intel CPUs.
