AMD Overtakes Intel in Puget Systems Processor Sales
Historically, system builders have been very good indicators of the market situation and demand for the latest processors available. Today, we have the report coming from Puget Systems, a system builder making PCs and laptops for any task needed. Having been present in the PC building business for 21 years, the company was able to notice some trends and look at the market like no one else could, simply by analyzing its orders. Today, we have the report that showcases just how much the CPU market has fluctuated and how dominant forces have shifted. The two main players, AMD and Intel, have been present for lots of years and we now get to see the latest trends in the consumer marketplace.
Back in 2015, Puget Systems quietly dropped AMD processors from their offerings, amid the very low demand the company saw for them. The sales of AMD processors accounted for a single-digit percentage of all of the total sales, and no one was interested in such systems. With the introduction of the Ryzen generation, Puget Systems re-introduced AMD processors back in their offerings. As the company analyzes its processor sales, it has concluded that, currently, AMD processors account for over 50% of the total CPU sales. That is quite a comeback for AMD, as the latest generation Ryzen 5000 series processors have taken the performance crown, and consumer demand is showing the need for new high-performance processors. You can take a look at the graph representing processor sales in the last five years below.

Jokes aside, this took too long for them, sad. They could at least show top 5 cpu bought from AMD. I would say 4xxxG cpu are at top, but who knows...
The graph tracks Ryzen releases pretty well. Zen (Ryzen 1000/2000) brought AMD back to the picture, Zen2 (Ryzen 3000) brought market share increase since second half of 2019 and Zen3 (Ryzen 5000) in the end of 2020 pushed it over 50%.
3070 + 2600x is lower than 5700XT + 2600x (NV's drivers seem to consume more CPU)
This market share change wouldn't have happened in 2005, for example, though.
the more important is not the sale , is benefit and intel destroy amd
an now when amd is more expensive than intel we will see ....
intel is now offering the best entry and middle computer system : in price and option wifi 6 / usb 20 gb etc and reliability
I recall reading some benchmarks and even when AMD beat Intel they were like " we still recommend Intel for stability " seemed AMD cpu's crash or something :confused:
They are not happy to sell AMD and they are not happy with the landscape of now Apple building silicon and killing exactly the costumer they target, they still do the old trick of comparing Apple to PC in Adobe suite but not mention Final cut pro that can edit 4k on a tablet.
They had a good run in the age of unoptimized software that need it stupidly expensive Intel "workstation cpu's"
Wonder how will they spin it when Apple release Mac Pro.
amd fanboy cant says its old processor with 80 % market , very well know and says its not stable ...
