Intel’s Market Share Falls Below 5% as AMD Dominates CPU Sales
According to the latest sales data from the popular German retailer Mindfactory, Intel’s revenue share has fallen below 5% for the first time, now sitting at a worrying 4.95%. This marks a sharp drop from the 7% share the company held just two weeks earlier.
This decline in Intel’s processor sales highlights AMD’s dominance in the consumer market. The sales numbers are clear: in the past week, AMD sold 3,655 CPU units (across its AM4 and AM5 platforms), compared to only 250 units sold by Intel during the same period.
As a result, AMD’s total market share soared to 93.6% in units, capturing more than 95% of revenue, with an average selling price (ASP) of €310. Intel, on the other hand, holds just 6.4% of the unit share, even with a lower ASP of €236. The fact that Intel’s cheaper chips aren’t helping to recover its market position shows a strong consumer preference for AMD processors.
Intel Keeps Losing Ground to AMD
The demand is focused on AMD products, with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and Ryzen 7 7800X3D leading the charts. In fact, no Intel CPU appears among the 30 best-selling models on Mindfactory. Of Intel’s limited sales, only about 40 units came from the new Arrow Lake generation, while most were from older 12th, 13th, and 14th generations.
The reason for this trend seems clear. Intel currently lacks a direct competitor to AMD’s X3D models, which are highly popular among PC gamers. Additionally, Intel is missing strong mid-range options that can match AMD’s Ryzen 5 series in terms of price and performance.
The delay in launching Intel’s upcoming Nova Lake lineup only worsens its situation in a market segment where the company once held a dominant position.
While Mindfactory is just one major German retailer, it is among the few that releases detailed weekly sales data.
