AMD Outsells Intel 2:1 on European Retailer Mindfactory.de
European PC enthusiasts continue to see value in choosing AMD Ryzen processors over Intel Core, as the latest public data by German retailer Mindfactory.de, which ships across the EU, shows AMD processors outselling Intel 2:1. Although earlier Intel would have the upperhand in revenue despite lower volumes, this time around, AMD shored up revenues on the backs of high-margin products such as the Ryzen 7 2700X and the HEDT Ryzen Threadripper series.
The 6-core/12-thread Ryzen 5 2600 is the most popular processor offering high value under the 200€-mark. It is followed by the 8-core/16-thread Ryzen 7 2700X. Buyers prefer the 2700X to the cheaper 2700 non-X. The Ryzen 5 2600X is another strong seller. Over in the Intel camp, the Core i9-9900K and Core i7-9700K are strong sellers, followed by the i5-9600K and the newly released i5-9400F. Pricing graphs show Intel processor pricing steadily rise over 2018, while AMD chips remained largely flat. These numbers are not indicative of the overall market, since Mindfactory caters to DIY PC gamers and enthusiasts only.

If AMD had not come out swinging with Ryzen and AMD had ended up going under (like some experts said that they were in danger of) Intel would then have absolutely nothing to stop them from charging $1000 a piece for even a Core i3. Why? Because no competition. Healthy competition is needed to make sure that no one single company can be a straight up dick about pricing.
Your argument was "but people are buying, so price is ok". People were buying fuel from Standard Oil Cartel too
"Oh, but I meant something else, let me make it up... mm... no good idea let, let's pretend I dind't say it".
Sure thing, sweetie, why, the f*ck, not.How could it be less than Microsoft and Sony sell? And I'm not even counting AMD's own chips.Underdog's need to gamble. I'd call game theory for this, but it's pretty obvious.
They should get more cations once firmly back to black.
But I'm pretty sure humans can exist without PC gaming. Vastly different cases.
You could have get a different hobby. You didn't. So the gaming equipment was priced according to your demand.
Just the fact that people buy Intel CPUs for entertainment means prices are set properly (by definition).
There isn't really anything to discuss here.
I have no idea what you're trying to achieve.
