Intel back is back in the lead when it comes to price performance, and this is beginning to show up in sales. It can be seen in the German Mindfactory store that Intel sales went up a lot after the launch of Alder Lake. They went from 18% of sales to 30% after that.

Most of these sales are for Alder Lake, which makes up 11% of these sales, followed by Rocket Lake (10%), Comet Lake (8%), and older CPUs (1%). For AMD, which has 70% of the sales, 48% comes from Vermeer (Ryzen 5000 CPUs), 11% from Cezzane (Ryzen 5000 APUs), 10% from Matisse (Ryzen 3000 CPUs), and 1% from other lines like Threadripper. Sales of each model are based on how many people bought each one. Six of the top 10 best-selling CPUs belong to the company AMD, and seven of the 10 are red. After the Ryzen 7 5800X, the Ryzen 5 5600X sold 3570 times. Third, there is a big drop, with 1,520 sales of the Ryzen 9 5900X. This shows how the first two models sold a lot more than the rest of them.

On the Intel side, the best-selling CPU was the i7-12700K, which sold about 880 units. The i5-12600K sold about 780 units. It is a lot less than the number of AMD CPUs, but it is still a lot more than the number that the company was handling in the previous generation. It will be interesting to see how the AMD and Intel markets are split up when AMD launches its new Zen3D-based Ryzen and Intel launches its Alder Lake "No-K" processors like the i5-12400 and i3-12100, as well as the H670, B660, and H610 motherboards, at the same time. and both brands have their full line of the most recent generation.

Intel sold 30% of CPUs in November due to Alder Lake, eroding AMD market share
