Budget king right here. AMD where's your budget products now?

"Client processor average selling price (ASP) increased year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter due to a richer mix of Ryzen processor sales."

Yeah I bet. Wouldn't hurt to have some actual reasonably priced budget processors. Most people are looking at budget products.

People made this same argument with Polaris, but the realty is the high end market is growing and spends a LOT. AMD is selling almost everything they can make and their cheapest Zen 3 part is $300, only recently have prices decreased.

Of course they're selling almost everything they can make. Have you seen the current market? Companies are doing wonderfully. We aren't.

In a normal market, nobody with a brain would be buying a 6 core for $300. Intel's $160 i5-12400F not only performs better but is also much more appealing.

I have generally always been drawn to AMD products but being on the lower-end of the food chain money remained super tight! My present 2008 Dell has been dying a slow death and the Intel i3 12100 now looks extremely impressive against all of the AMD's lower-end chips. I am not a gamer, so a discrete GPU will not be required nor can readily be afforded at his time. Amazing: The $300 comparable Ryzen 3 3300X, finds the i3 12100 beating it by almost 19% and being faster than the six-core Ryzen 5 3600 and 3600X, respectively. To my despair I find that AMD's chips now can't compete in the sub-$300/$250 market and which is more my own dictated reality! No doubt Alder Lake has delivered a decisive blow to AMD's entire Ryzen 5000 family. So it looks that my money needs to be with Intel as the Core i3-12100 is the absolute winner and now the reigning champion for the man on the street and the unfortunate left behind WFH crowd!
