In a surprising twist, AMD has taken the lead in GPU sales at one of Germany’s largest retailers, capturing over 50% of total units shipped this week. The spotlight shines on the Radeon RX 9070 XT, which maintained its top position with more than 300 units sold. Though AMD is selling more units, NVIDIA continues to rake in more revenue overall.
Recent reports from Mindfactory show AMD’s robust performance due to better availability. The Radeon RX 9070 XT sold 340 units by the week’s end, averaging around 100 units a day earlier in the week. While demand remains high, stock is being replenished, hinting that we might see even higher sales figures in the near future.
Currently, the market offers six different editions of the Radeon RX 9070 XT, all from XFX, with limited availability of custom editions from other brands. The RX 9070 model, however, is struggling with just two editions available. Meanwhile, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 claimed the second spot in sales with 220 units, a notable feat given its sluggish start earlier in the week.
In terms of volume, AMD sold 440 units, accounting for 52.69% of the total, while NVIDIA sold 395 units, representing 47.31%. Despite these numbers, NVIDIA overshadowed AMD in revenue, thanks to its higher average selling price (ASP) of €1,549 compared to AMD’s €751.
Other notable GPUs in the sales report include the RX 7800 XT, which remains popular but lags behind the aforementioned models with about 60 units sold. It matched the sales of the GeForce RTX 5090, NVIDIA’s high-end offering. The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, priced higher, sold 45 units, directly competing with the RX 9070 XT in terms of performance.
Despite AMD’s lead in unit sales, the lack of a premium $1000+ card, akin to NVIDIA’s RTX 5080 and 5090, leaves it trailing in revenue. Mindfactory’s data, representing just one retailer, provides a glimpse but not a comprehensive view of the GPU market share in Germany.
Interestingly, Intel’s presence in the GPU market seems negligible this week, with zero Intel Arc cards being sold. The absence of Intel Arc B580 cards on the website suggests that Intel struggles to meet market demands, partly due to a lack of high-performance options. As a result, Intel remains edged out of the competitive landscape dominated by AMD and NVIDIA.
