AMD CPUs Dominate Amazon Top Sellers List in US, UK and Germany
AMD's relentless CPU design and release cadence have been totally overturning the consumer mindset regarding whose CPU manufacturer they should choose to populate their builds, and it shows in the top sellers for numerous retailers. Amazon US, for example, lists only two Intel CPUs in the top ten of its CPU sales, with the 6-core/6-thread Core i5-9600K in fourth position, and the 8-core/16-thread Core i9-9900K in sixth. AMD's Ryzen 7 2700X is the top seller (not at all strange, considering the ludicrously low Black Friday sale price of $159, with the Ryzen 5 2600 in second place and the Ryzen 5 3600 in third.
In the UK, Amazon's top sellers in the CPU department count with 10 AMD entries against three from Intel, with the three top spots being taken by AMD's Ryzen 5 3600, Ryzen 7 3700X, and finally the Intel i7 9700K. Change your country to Germany, and you'll find the same distribution of top sellers, with Intel claiming only three CPUs in the top ten, but managing to snag the top seller position with the i7-9700K CPU. AMD has been increasing its market share in the CPU space for some reason, and we all know what it is - incredible performance/price and price/core ratios have given the blue team something to think about. What about you? Are you thinking of buying a new CPU this Black Friday?

They build better CPU than GPU I guess.
Nvidia ain't losing sleep.
Neither is Tesla, or ermm Disney, orrrr Philips, a lot of companies arnt losing sleep over products being sold they have nothing to do with....
In Amazon Mexico the top 6 are Ryzen CPUs too.
Wake me up when OEMs will do the same.
hello people! i'm getting old :(
You're getting unprecedented processing power at prices that could actually be interpreted as REASONABLE by many people. Intel would have had us paying hundreds and thousands of dollars, for years, for 4 cores here, 8 cores there, and MAYBE, once in a while, a more than 5%-10% improvement in IPC, year over year.
AMD has allowed people with the cash, to purchase, or build computers with the amount of processing power that they both need AND want, and I'm excited because that means, hopefully, some innovation and imagination going into computer software, CAD, and CAM, that we just would not have gotten with Intel's practices and roadmaps.
95% of laptops are still Intel + useless UHD graphics, often at premium pricing.
There is nothing premium about the Intel UHD experience. Half the software I use benefits from GPU acceleration, and that's ignoring the fact that UHD gaming is a such a trainwreck that you're usually better off not even bothering.
