The desktop processor market is exploding day by day and its proof is the latest data from one of the biggest German retailers Mindfactory. While AMD and Intel continue to battle against each other, the sales data of November 2022 goes to show record sales in a month and both the chip giants profiting.
While AMD had been dominating the CPU market since 2020 outselling Intel by huge margins, we thought that could change somewhat in 2022 with the launch of Raptor Lake chips from Intel. The Blue team had been doing better than what it was in 2022 with Alder Lake and is improving its market share with new 13th Gen Intel processors.
As you see in the Mindfactory CPU sales numbers above AMD have quite substantial numbers and the primary reason for the increase in totals is because of the lowered pricing. If you closely see, the total numbers are even better than the same month last year with 2:1 for AMD against Intel.
While AMD’s number of CPUs sold stands at 67% but Intel’s is at 33%, if you break the sales numbers, most of AMD’s sales have come from the Ryzen 5000 series while for Intel it’s the newer 13th-Gen Intel Raptor Lake processors.
However, in terms of revenue as per Mindfactory, the figure looks a bit different because as you see though AMD has had a lead consistently for over a year now, where AMD rocks with 60% revenue but Intel has seen an uprising to 40%. This goes to show the popularity of the new 13th Gen Intel chips and even the discounted 12th Gen CPUs.
As you see the Ryzen 7 5800X3D which has been recently discounted to the max extent is the best-selling CPU in November 2022 whereas Intel’s Core i7-12700K is the second. The 13th Gen Intel CPUs are seeing positive sales whereas AMD’s Ryzen 7000 is steadily gaining momentum with a recent price decline.
Overall, seeing the recent Mindfactory CPU sales, this is positive news for enthusiasts and gamers who look forward to making their own PCs because the average sales price of AMD has seen price decline by 25% in November but Intel is enjoying the premium. Now, it will be interesting to see how this shapes up next year when more new Intel and AMD chips are slated to be launched at CES 2023.
