- AMD Outselling Intel By More Than Double Analyzing 5-Year Historical Sales At Mindfactory
- AMD Sales More Than Intel
The tech enthusiasts have had their eyes on AMD ever since the first leaks about its upcoming Zen architecture began, but this is one of the first times that a large online retailer has given us a breakdown of historical sales figures by architectures proving a halseny which many of us knew to be true. Mindfactory.de is one of the largest German retailers and represents a significant sample size to derive an analysis from.
Mindfactory.de (German retailer) Sales Data Show AMD CPU Sales Consistently Beat Intel’s After 2H 2018
The data obviously shows that the entire AMD comeback is on the back of Zen architecture alone. As a matter of fact, if you look at the chart below you will see AMD’s sales increasing sharply as soon as Summit Ridge (Zen 1) launched. In fact, AMD overtook Intel in market share for a very short period of time before 2018 as well. Here is what was really interesting, however, AMD’s Zen architecture launched in 2017, but the customers of the German retailer were forgiving to Intel’s CPU sales until 2H 2018 which is the point where they apparently had enough.
The chart above shows the number of CPUs sold and you can clearly see that with each successive generation of Zen (Summit Ridge, Pinnacle Ridge, Matisse) AMD has clawed more and more customers in Mindafactory.de sales.
Here is where things get really interesting though, Matisse is AMD’s HEDT lineup and traditionally while they generate a lot of revenue, they do not ship in the same volume as their mainstream counterparts. So. precisely, we can see that Matisse is actually selling more than the first generation of Zen.
