Even the steam hardware survey shows 70% / 30% AMD to intel CPU marketshare split respectively.

Don't think you can call steam AMD biased either considering for their GPU marketshare they only have 15% and Nvidia has 75%.

It is kinda of terrible news tho as we're already started to see the affects of an AMD CPU monopoly. The fact that AMD is able to get away with selling a 4 year old zen 3 core (5700x3d) for $200 still and hasn't released a decently priced 7700x3d or 9700x3d yet.. :/

Nvidia CPUs can't come fast enough. Thankfully Qualcomm won the arm lawsuit so we should be expecting Oryon cores on desktop as well too.

No... Mindfactory has not always been like this.
During the Bulldozer/Zen 1 periods Intel had like 80% resp. 70% share...

Also these numbers are supported by most other western sales charts e.g. Amazon.

Arrow lake is not selling

AMD always outsells intel 10:1 at mindfactory. It doesn't matter if intels cpu is broken garbage or not.

Quote"What's more troubling for Intel, however, is that the bulk of Team Blue's sales consist of the 13th and 14th-gen CPUs that utilize the LGA1700 socket and not the latest Arrow Lake series. In fact, the Core Ultra 200S Arrow Lake CPU sales are just 120 units. Compare this to the 11,160 Zen 5 + Zen 4 units sold and you can get an idea of just how bad of a place Intel is in Germany"

Yeah, Germany is so tiny country, basically like Vatican population-wise, so Intel is in shambles because of 11,160 Z5+Z4 units sold. Meanwhile the 285K is beasting in all sorts of productivity workloads, such as game development in Unreal Engine where the Ultra 200S is simply wiping the floor with Z5 in important situations such as shaders compiling, you know stuff that can't be precisely benchmarked with random benchmarks such as Geekbench 6.3 or Cinebench R24.

But yeah, more sold = better. By that logic Apple is utter worthless s*** as they sell less than AMD, less than Intel, so...

According to many comments (Computerbase etc.) Mindfactory was always "the" shop for AMD users.

Additionally the shop is mostly limited to Germany. Private persons outside from Germany can't order from this shop.

Thus I wouldn't say that the Mindfactory sales number are really representative.

The same thing is happening in the USA, AMD chips are all out of stock and waiting for replenishment.
Many people are buying AM5 motherboards to upgrade.

It is the same in stores and by the ratio of reviews online like at Amazon. The price is too high and a whole platform is needed for Intel.
