There isn't a single Intel CPU that sits among the top 10 best-selling CPUs on Amazon, while AMD is selling three generations of CPUs like hotcakes.
AMD keeps securing more CPU sales versus Intel and surprisingly, AM4 CPUs are selling the most on Amazon, 9800X3D takes the top spot at Newegg
Is it over for Intel? Not yet, but it does seem like AMD is going to be more dominant in the coming months. Intel had its chance to turn the tables with Arrow Lake "Core Ultra 200" desktop CPUs, but it failed miserably. This has pushed AMD CPUs even higher on the top-selling CPUs list than ever.
While AMD CPUs have been selling quite dominantly for a while, it's for the first time we have seen that no Intel CPU belongs to the top 10 best-selling CPUs on Amazon.com. If I remember correctly, I saw one Intel CPU at the #9 position a week ago, but that processor has now dropped to #12. This is the Intel Core i5 13600KF, which is one of the best Raptor Lake chips, but apparently, users prefer AMD's Zen 3, Zen 4, and Zen 5 chips over it.
The Core i5 13600KF is now retailing for just $175 but the AMD Ryzen 5 7600X is still outselling it at #4 on Amazon for a price of $194 at the time of writing. That said, it's not just Intel that is offering generous discounts on the previous CPUs, but AMD is pretty aggressive too. The current best-selling CPU on Amazon is AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, an AM4 platform-compatible CPU with 8 cores and 16 threads, which is selling for just $130. It's followed by the Ryzen 5 5600X for an incredible $105, which is the lowest we have had since its launch.
Then we have the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D at the third position and the latest Ryzen 7 9800X3D at the 5th position. On Newegg, it's a bit different story. Even though AMD is still dominating the best-selling CPUs list with Ryzen 7 9800X3D being the top seller, followed by some more AMD chips, Intel is still in the game with four CPUs in the top 10 most-selling CPUs. In both Amazon and Newegg's best-selling lists, we can see that the Ryzen 9800X3D, 7800X3D, and 5700X3D are common.
In some European regions, this gets pretty serious for Intel as it keeps dropping to a historic low week by week. At Mindfactory, a German retailer(via @TechEpiphanyYT), AMD stands at a whopping 94.49% CPU share when it comes to selling the most CPUs, while Intel hardly sold 40 units of Arrow Lake CPUs in a whole week.
Even in the DIY Korean market, AMD has now secured a good 62% market share for its desktop processors, making huge gains in a single year. Unfortunately, for Intel, this could get worse as no competitor from the Blue team can counter AMD's X3D chips, which have proved to be the most successful AMD experiment.
