The operation of the mind It is a large supermarket and is a distributor in Germany. Obviously, this store's sales cannot be increased globally, but given its size the same thing happens when BackBlaze publishes its disk failure rate report, and even though it doesn't represent the total it is the most representative given the high sales value they have and the best place to start get a global perspective.
In this case they have published a weekly processor sales report, where you can see that AMD has surpassed Intel Starting with 15 best-selling processor models, the first 12 are from AMD and vary considerably depending on sales volume.
Best practices for the week
This is a sales report published by Mindildory:
| Processor | Units sold |
|---|---|
| AMD Ryzen 5 3600 | 1280 |
| AMD Ryzen 7 3700X | 550 |
| AMD Ryzen 7 2700X | 430 |
| AMD Ryzen 3 3200G | 280 |
| AMD Ryzen 5 2600 | 280 |
| AMD Ryzen 9 3900X | 220 |
| AMD Ryzen 5 3600X | 200 |
| AMD Ryzen 5 2600X | 170 |
| AMD Ryzen 7 3800X | 140 |
| AMD Ryzen 5 1600 | 120 |
| AMD Ryzen 5 3400G | 110 |
| Intel Core i7-9700K | 100 |
| AMD Ryzen 3 2200G | 100 |
| Intel Core i9-9900K | 80 |
This data stands for complete control by AMD, which sold (in total) 4,185 processors, 165 more than last week, and Intel sold only 675 processors, 5 less than last week. Speaking of sales volume, AMD is up 86.11%, leaving Intel selling only 13.89%. And what's amazing is the fact that with every Intel Core i7-9700K processor sold in this store, it's about 13 units AMD Ryzen 5 3600, the best selling processor With a big difference.
As you can see, in Germany AMD outperforms Intel, but the reality in global sales is very different.
The graph above represents the sales of Intel's worldwide AMD processors, which were updated in the third quarter of last year. It is true that AMD is clearly gaining more market share in Intel, and especially in Europe, but we will have to wait for the global market share to be revised to assess how AMD's marketing strategy works Six months ago, AMD had just been more than -25% of the rate, and it wouldn't be surprising if that number is currently more than 30%, or more.
Users prefer mid-level AMD processors
Another important fact that we can get out of this sales report is that the middle class of processors is the best-selling by far, even though they don't pay attention to the high-end range. With the Ryzen 5 3600 leading and selling more than two units if the previous processor, user preferences become clear, remember that this processor has a process retail price of 200 euros.
And at the end of the day, no matter how much can be done on Intel and AMD's best in technology and performance, eventually the user ends up buying the one that best suits their needs, and, of course, their budget. It is useless to have one 64 key processor if users won't buy it, right?
