The battle for dominance in the CPU market is skewing dramatically in favor of AMD, as even their less popular processors are outperforming Intel’s top offerings. Recent reports highlight that AMD is capturing a staggering 94% of CPU market revenue.
For some time, the shifts in market share have been apparent, and Intel, once the reigning champion, now struggles to maintain visibility. AMD not only outsells Intel’s newest CPUs but continues to do so with even their older AM4-compatible models.
Last week’s data from Mindfactory paints a clear picture of consumer preference. AMD leads strongly, with around 1,725 units sold, dwarfing Intel’s sales, which falter below 150 units across their recent generations.
Intel’s LGA 1851 processors, including the Core Ultra 200S, are performing worse than previous iterations like the Raptor Lake series, which managed to sell just over 100 units. Arrow Lake and Alder Lake CPUs fared even worse with 20 and 10 units sold, respectively. These dismal numbers contributed to just 7.51% of the total CPU sales last week, with AMD cruising at 92.49%.
Revenue figures are equally revealing. With an average selling price of 311 Euros, AMD secured 93.77% of the total revenue, while Intel lagged with a mere 6.23% at a lower average price of 254 Euros. The best-sellers in the CPU world remain AMD’s Ryzen 7 9800X3D and 7800X3D, overshadowing Intel, whose presence in the top 20 best-sellers is nonexistent. The Core Ultra 7 265K struggled with only 20 units sold, although Intel’s 14th-gen CPUs are gaining traction due to better value propositions compared to the Arrow Lake series.
This landscape underscores a stark choice for consumers who are increasingly gravitating towards AMD for superior performance and value.
