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.

The last 2 CPUs I bought were Ryzens. One for a cheap build and one for my primary rig. Both are pretty great.

3700X is still mighty CPU . Cost same as 5600X. For future gaming might be better than 5600X.

The 5000 series is still suffering from availability issues, at least over here, which would have affected the sales as well. Not everyone is willing to wait potentially for weeks, instead of simply going for an older but still valid 3000 series CPU with a cheaper price to boot.

no wonder,people were waiting for r5000 for a long time.
the way 3700x,3600xt,3600 and even 2600x were selling in Dec20 shows a lot of them still chose r3000/r2000 over Zen3
imo the right choice given how they're selling 3800x $40 cheaper than 5600x and 3600 is literally half the price of 5600x.I'd go that way too,paying eur350 for a 6/12 when a binned 3800x 8/16 sells for eur310,not a smart choice.
They'd sell even fewer r5000 if they hadn't locked r3000 out of SAM.
