For the second consecutive month, sales of new AMD Ryzen 3000 processors are breaking records and squeezing out a competitor, as evidenced by the latest market share report from one of Germany’s largest PC hardware retailers, Mindfactory.
The latest MindFactory stats have been posted again by Reddit user Ingebor. Looking at them, it is clear that AMD Ryzen 3000 sales and revenue figures continue to be strong and dominate the Intel Core lineup.
According to the latest statistics, the AMD Ryzen 3000 processor accounted for 78% of total retail CPU sales, compared to 22% of Intel CPU sales.
More specifically, AMD sold 18,000 units, while only 5,000 Intel processors were sold. The numbers are close to last month when AMD Ryzen 3rd Generation accounted for 79% of all processor sales.
Of the 78% of AMD Ryzen 3000 processors sold, the most popular was the Ryzen 5 3600. It is currently one of the best budget options available on the market in the under $200 segment.
The Ryzen 7 3700X sold very well as well, with the Ryzen 5 2600 ranking 3rd as it can now be purchased for less than $140, making it an extremely valuable chip for budget builds.
The Ryzen 5 3600 alone managed to outperform the entire 9th Gen Intel Core lineup, which came as a big surprise.
Higher sales of AMD processors also resulted in a significantly higher share of revenue at 75%, while Intel’s processors only managed 28% of MindFactory’s revenue.
The overpriced Ryzen 9 3900X manages to take 3rd place with fewer processor sales.
Finally, we can see how the share is divided between Intel and AMD lines. 53% of AMD processors sold are Mattise or Ryzen 3000, 29% are Pinnacle Ridge, 5% are old Summit Ridge, and the remaining 13% are APUs and Threadripper.
Intel’s share was 71% of Coffee Lake Refresh or 9th Gen processors, 24% of Coffee Lake or 8th Gen processors, and 5% split between Skylake-X and 7th Gen Kaby Lake processors.
As you can see, AMD’s previous processor lines are still quite popular. This is partly due to the compatibility with motherboards, of course. After all, buying now, for example, Ryzen 5 1600X, does not interfere with the installation of the new Ryzen 5 3600X into the same motherboard six months later.
And this is partly due to the very attractive price tags, both for six-core models and for eight-core CPUs of the previous generation.
Now is almost the best time to upgrade. After all, both Intel and AMD are trying to get rid of the stock of processors of previous generations. For example, the same Core i5 9600 now costs less than $ 150, and Ryzen 5 2600 is even cheaper.
