AMD crushes Intel at Mindfactory, selling 11.7 Ryzen CPUs for every single Intel chip

In the month of January, German retailer Mindfactory sold a whopping 11.7 AMD CPUs for every single Intel CPU purchased. For those who have been keeping up with the times, this mammoth ratio comes hardly as a surprise. Intel undeniably missed the mark with the launch of its Arrow Lake-S desktop CPUs, offering worse gaming performance than not only AMD's Ryzen counterparts, but also last-gen Raptor Lake-S CPUs.

Specifically, AMD CPUs accounted for 92.16% of all CPUs sold by the retailer, leaving Intel with a paltry 7.84% of the pie. The CPU that sold the most was, unsurprisingly, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, which is perfectly understandable considering that it is indeed the best gaming CPU on the market right now. Intel's latest Core Ultra 200 CPUs moved only around 185 units, which is roughly 0.72% of the total 25,625 units sold by Mindfactory.

Moreover, the exceptional Ryzen 7 9800X3D (currently $587 on Amazon) accounted for a whopping 87% of all the Zen 5 CPUs sold, indicating that the rest of the Ryzen 9000 lineup struggled quite a bit. Of all the CPUs on the AM5 platform, which also includes Zen 4 parts, the 9800X3D captured 47% of sales. AMD recently revealed that they do not have plans of standardizing 3D V-Cache, reasoning that it does not benefit most other workloads apart from gaming and costs a fair bit extra to manufacture. But it does appear that people adore their X3D chips, which have been a no-brainer purchase for gaming for quite a while now.
