AMD on the Ryze Bigtime with German Ryzen Sales
Big German etailer sells more AMD procs now than Intel ones. Over the weekend the story broke as some reports had been published. The news is interesting as for many years now AMD has been an underdog sales wise.
However Ryzen is doing well. The news comes from and ever since March 2017, when AMD launched Ryzen series, AMD processor sales have seen a from 28% (vs. 72% of Intel) towards now a proper 56% by the end of August 2017 of that sales pie. This of course is targeted at the DiY component market.
The most popular processor is the one I have been recommending for best value/performance, the Ryzen 5 1600 with its 6c/12t setup. Next in line is the Ryzen 7 1700, again very similar to my recommendation as that 8x/16t proc just needs a little tweaking to get to that4 GHz range. Intel wise the 7700K is the best seller. Check the graphs made by Reddit use Type-21 and Ingebor.

GPUs are doing well as well. They are sold out everywhere, vega and the RX series. On the contrary NVidia GPUs are everywhere to be found. Greater stock perhaps, and because of mining craze, but still that's great for AMD.

That's great news for AMD. I also don't see that change anytime soon either. People are tired of paying a premium for sub par proc. Now Intel is trying to rectify this by giving you more cores, but don't forget that you will pay more for that than the previous generation and you will once again change your motherboard again.... AMD will for at least another 2 years refine the whole Ryzen proc lineup and maybe even drop the die size who knows? How on earth did AMD let Intel on a loose like this over the years? I honestly can't even see how people can still consider going the Intel route unless you are a die hard fan of them and like getting raped in the bottom side... LOL!

Great. Still with a x5650@4ghz (cpuz bench, same multi thread performance of a i7 7700k) but when it will pass away, the choice will be for an AMD solution. Hope the Ryzen effect will make AMD able to improve and push forward all the graphic sector. Up to now, in my opinion, gaming on pc with those prices is not interesting unless you are an enthusiast gamer.

Being sold out everywhere isn't great for AMD because it means they can't produce enough merchandise and are losing profit. Sold out somewhere would be a healthy sign as it would indicate they are selling everything they manufacture but are also meeting the demand, more or less. Many a person will take a card from a competitor if an AMD card simply can't be bought because stores have nothing to sell.
That being said, I visited a computer store this past weekend and there actually were two Sapphire 580s sitting on the shelf. I wouldn't expect them to remain there for long.

Intel somewhat panicked and AMD have played their cards well(only on the CPU side unfortunately) - a great combination for the market. Now I'm curious about the performance of a Threadripper-based super computers.
