Recently, AMD’s Ryzen 3000 has shaken the CPU market totally both in 2019 and 2020, it now has more shares in the desktop CPU market than Intel, much due its advanced 7nm processors and their pricing.
Intel has also struck back with 10th Gen Intel desktop CPUs off late but it will be interesting to see if people go for Intel or remain loyal towards AMD. So, here are the top 10 best selling CPUs on Amazon as of August 2020:
1. AMD Ryzen 7 3700X

For the advanced socket AM4 platform can support PCIe 4 0 on x570 motherboards
So these were the top 10 best selling CPUs on Amazon currently and you can get hold of them easily and build a new system or upgrade your existing one. Note that if you use an AM4 platform motherboard you can use AMD CPUs quite some time because of their prelonged commitement to this socket.
Intel CPUs here require a new motherboard and soon 10th Gen Intel Comet Lake desktop processors will make its way into the market, so going for them will be a better idea for their increased performance at lower costs. Tell us which CPU you want.
