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.

it's very good.
though your choice was more an emotional statement for intel,which is not surprising for an amd buyer.
however,I don't think there's more cpus coming for am4 while intel has rocket lake with higher single core performance,so it's kinda dubious if you really wanted fast single thread.
I buy whatever is best for gaming under $250 and call it a day.sell old s**t.buy new s**t.my mobo was already 6yo.not only old socket,but no ddr4,no nvme,no usb-c....... socket longevity will only carry you up to a point.
next upgrade is ddr5 unless rkl-s surpises me with prices (it won't)
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

I got rid of my 3570K in 2015,never even considered buying a 4/4 after that.4/8 lasted me quite long,tbh I was surprised how long,but it's on its last legs now.

Quad back then was top dog , easily destoryed Ryzen 1600. Now it is different story , but that wasn't my problem. Problem Z270 boards could support 8th Gen (Which holds very well now ), but Intel didn't allow that . That was moment i said enough is enough . Tho 5600X price wasn't pleasant suprise :/

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.

There is no discussion in this topic , right now if you want bang for the buck you go with Intel , first of all , you get it same or next day as there is ZERO avaliablity issues.
10700kf is very good option ( i'd take it over 10600k ).
That being said , i wanted AMD , becasue i kinda was pissed with intel over 7600k, -' i couldn't upgrade to 8th gen , even the board supported it ( unofficial mod was possible but i wans't interested in that ) . So i paid premium for AMD , i have no regrets.
Performace wise , it is crazy jump from 3300X (very similiar single core to 7600k) , especially older games like Diablo 3, or LOL , FPS jumped easily 100-300% in some scenarios . I have no idea why, for example , in Diablo 3 i seen jumps from 150 FPS to nearly 500 FPS . My GPU was loaded 5-15% with 3300X now it is well above 50%. Same situation in Lol . Of crouse i don't need fps above 140fps but shows potential in that CPU, also i was lucky with good overclocker , like a cherry on a pie
it's very good.
