Intel Processors Outselling AMD’s In The Latest CPU Sales Results From Germany’s Largest Online Retailer

When AMD launched Ryzen processors, Intel had a dominant position with more than 64.4% share in monthly revenue compared to AMD’s 35.6%. That started to change in the mid of 2017 when AMD, for the first time, overtook Intel CPUs in terms of sales and revenue on Germany’s largest online retailer. That success was due to several reasons, AMD had a highly competitive processor lineup after many years and a platform that was priced in the sweet spot range. Furthermore, AMD offered more cores whereas Intel had their flagship Core i7-7700K at just 4 cores and 8 threads. AMD’s flagship was more than twice of that in terms of cores and thread count, further enticing the deal was the fact that AMD’s platform is meant for long term CPU line support whereas Intel’s 200-series platform ended support for any modern chip.

Till November of 2017, AMD enjoyed a good dominant position but December of 2017 and January of 2018, the tides shifted back to Intel. With Coffee Lake availability getting better, Intel saw leading the charts once again with the Core i7-8700K becoming the most po[CENSORED]r chip among the masses. Intel now stands at 58% CPU sold per month share while AMD’s CPU managed to fall around 42%.

The monthly revenue from Intel chips has also gained big numbers thanks to the flagship Core i7-8700K amounting for bulk of the sales while AMD’s revenue share has fallen in this regard since considering that their most po[CENSORED]r chip, the Ryzen 5 1600 is part of the budget segment. The Ryzen 7 series aren’t very po[CENSORED]r among consumers as compared to the Ryzen 5 line whereas Intel’s Coffee Lake unlocked lineup are highly po[CENSORED]r.
