Ryzen 5000 and 3000 lead December 2020 sales records in Germany
Over in Germany one of the biggest etailers often shares numbers. In this round, they revealed that they've sold around 40,000 CPUs in December, of which 35,000 were from AMD.
That means 83% of last month's processor sales at MindFactory were from the red team, which translates to € 12 million in profit. For its part, Intel's CPU revenue only accounted for just under € 2 million, or 14% of sales.
When you split that up, you'll actually see that several of the Ryzen 3000 are at the top, representing 54%, while the newcomers Ryzen 5000 represent 26% and the Ryzen 2000 / 3000G 18%. Surely the distribution would have been different if the new Ryzen 5000 had more stock.
The 8-core Ryzen 7 3700X was the leader, although the 6-core Ryzen 5 5600X was very close. The list continues with the Ryzen 5 3600 (XT), and a little further down, we can see that the Ryzen 9 5950X and 5900X are also gradually gaining popularity. However, their sales are still somewhat low, probably due to their limited stock.

I feel the same. I don´t regret buying the 7600K because so far it has been a good servant alongside my 1080ti, but the fact Intel artificially locked me from upgrading to a better CPU just so they could sell another chipset makes me mad as hell.
So my next build is also going to be from AMD because of this.
Yea kinda emotional when i was with Intel since Core 2 Duo. With 7600k i felt stabed in the back . Usually i regret emotional purchases , but this CPU ( 5600X) is really mad

This is why using Mindfactory is a poor market indicator. https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam
Look at the huge December spikes for Intel and nVidia. Intel jumped just over 1.5% market share. Usually changes are a fraction of a percent month to month.

Would this have anything to do with china being included in the survey?

I'm not debating what you said above,I agree with most of it.
but as a pc owner I don't really accept better profit for shareholders as a reason for amd doing what they knew they could,raising prices 50-60% over last gen for entry level cpus.this has nothing to do with intel being bad for consumer.it's amd milking them.
look at what they did with r3000 - they sold you a 8/16 cpu a lot cheaper than intel sold their 8/8 and it f****d it up good in overall performance.
maybe use that as a reference instead.profit for one manufacturer is bad and for the other one is good,not how most of us make decisions.
now 5600x sells for more than 10700kf but it doesn't really perform any faster
see the difference ?
No not really there are 2 things wrong well possibly 3
First I get the impression you are an Intel Fanboi and no matter what you will argue Intel is better, even when its as obvious as the nose on your face your wrong.
Second you only look at games and at 1080 a CPU is not for games only and 1080 is now starting to decline as more folks shift over to 1440, look at the overall performance of the package including its upgrade path, its available lanes, its technology and as your quoting a 5600x the fact its a 65w part and has a cooler in comparison to your 10700kf thats a 125w part and has no cooler, as I have said before CPUs are used for much more than games consider that aspect as well and the Intel part begins to look very poor value
Thirdly Try your game, add a stream and open a few more apps in the background, I promise the intel product will slow down, its multicore is far far worse as btw is its single core but it has a lot less cache as well, in short Intel makes a decent CPU and in the past it rightly charged a premium for its better product, the shoe is now on the other foot AMDs products are better, you cannot argue against the evidence of thousands of reviews, they are better and they are also charging a premium you want the best you pay for it or put up with slightly below parr performance, but dont attempt to convince me that Intel currently has the best offer with its last gen power sucking 14+++++++++++++++++++++++chips and restricted motherboard ecosystem, its better with 2 less cores as well!
I just checked prices I can buy a 5600x right now for £309.00 the 10700kf is £338.00 whatever your smoking I need some!

well when 7600k came out you could already tell what's gonna happen by looking at 4/8

it was pretty common to see 4/8 15-25% faster in some 2015/16 games,even lost to 4/8 ivy.
so you waited 3 years for that 5600x to get it at 1400pln ?
man,should've bought that 8700k.I remember seeing it drop to 1400 pln by the end of 2017.
Not without new mobo or hard mod. With GTX 1060 7600k was good enough, never had any cpu bottleneck. With Radeon 6800, that's different story
