AMD CPUs Dominate Amazon Top Sellers List in US, UK and Germany

Very good to see customer base isn't entirely stupid. Let this be a lesson.

I wish OEMs would get on board too.
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.

To bad DIY is about 16% of the CPU market.
Wake me up when OEMs will do the same.

They are making some slow inroads.

It will take a half a decade of massive profits and major market share wins to even get to the half way point in comparison to Intel. AMD is no doubt the technological leader but they are far from the market leader. They are still the little guy by a MASSIVE margin.

Can't see Intel being the underdog it would be just weird.
Image Intel being the budget friendly alternative where you get more for your money.

This does not surprise me in the least. Whether it is the tech press, Youtube or communities on the internet there has been nothing but love for AMD. Even though they had teething issues with Ryzen2 and X570 or Ryzen and X370 they still wax poetic when you compare them (in the PCU space) to Intel with their same 14NM++++++++++++ refreshes and bad press. Amd is still the UNderdog though as Intel's 3rd quarter profit was higher than AMD's for the last 5 years.

It flip flops every few years, but I am hoping that AMD stays on top this time, technologically, and then, eventually financially and in terms of market share and revenue. In my mind, as far as anyone that cares about computers and has even basic diy knowledge of them, AMD is the undeniable MVP this year, because they took a stagnant computer market and breathed new life into it and made it exciting again.

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.

The revolution is happening now with TR3 in Hollywood circles.

blue cores matter

You know, the crux of the matter is the poly patterned image near 1:40. Scene triangle binning id buffers(resource binding) really improved graphics rendering capabilities in amd hardware(not talking cpu). Null pixel shaders optimise vertex performance and uplift the pixel pipeline's performance bounding box more than anything I've seen in 3D graphics. It fits like a glove.

Dude just log in to :
primeabgb (Mumbai)
mdcomputers (Kolkata)
vedantcomputers (Kolkata)
theitdepot (Chennai)

they have the latest and greatest within few weeks of launch, i personally prefer Vedantcomputers due to no gateway payment charges (2%) when paying by card.
