Intel has been losing the lead in chips due to the huge popularity of AMD Ryzen processors. This is a fresh dataset from Danwana, which sells Korean IT components and systems showing Intel CPUs have lost the peak of its share of 45%, coming down by over more than around 10% in recent months. The drop is indicative of the sweeping consumer love for AMD, with a preference toward its chips at an all-time high.
More About Intel and AMD Market Share
This fall in market share for Intel is reportedly due to ongoing instability issues of its 13th and the new generation, now numbering up to the 14th Gen CPUs. Reports suggested that the flaw impacted over 8 million devices globally and did serious damage to Intel’s solidness. And, in response to this 10% year-over-year decline of Intel’s monopoly market position seen throughout Korean markets, revealing that Team Blue’s CPUs are no longer viewed as dependable.
However, this fall created a gap that AMD has been able to readily fill with sales of Ryzen processors. This includes the Ryzen 5 7500F from AMD which has helped increase demand for the company, namely on motherboards and memory thanks to their AM5 platform. Recently, AMD maintained a market share of over 50% and there may have been more consumer confidence in the last few months also they had increased sales.
That said, AMD is not without its own headaches. At home and abroad, their Ryzen 9000 series CPUs have not been launched to a smooth start. For example, the Ryzen 9 9900X had its price almost immediately fall below MSRP by around 8% in Europe post-launch suggesting lower than anticipated initial demand.
The CPU market could be best summed up with a shrug right now, as both the Intel and scrappy underdog AMD are in dire straits. Highly anticipated products such as Intel’s Arrow Lake-S CPUs, and AMD Ryzen 9000X3D series could influence the dynamics in these markets. As both companies prepare for these new releases, the future of the CPU market remains uncertain but full of potential.
