we have war of sales in between Intel vs AMDmaking clear the domain of Zen 3 compared to Intel Alder Lake. Intel is not selling as expected, at least at Mindfactory, a famous German component store. The Ryzen 5 5600X is the best seller.
It is true that compared to past months, the month of June of Mindfactory has seen sales growth in Ryzen 5 5500, Ryzen 7 5700G and the i5-12600KF as the only Intel chip that has been more sold than in May. However, AMD still leads all sales in the German store.
Intel Alder Lake vs AMD Zen 3 in sales: Ryzen wins
Specifically, the 4 best-selling chips in June are the Ryzen 5 5600Xthe 7 5800X and the 9 5900X, who are the oldest of the generation. The first Intel Alder Lake is in 5th position: the i5-12400Fwhich does not have iGPU and that it could be a low-cost gaming solution.
The 6th and 7th positions are completed by the i7-12700K and the i5-12600K, but to say that they have experienced a drop in shipments compared to May. The Top 10 is completed by the Ryzen 9 5950X, the Ryzen 5 5500 and the 7 5700G as the last bastion.
In fact, the Ryzen 5 5600G has overtaken the i5-12400Fwhich was in 4th position in May, so Intel is not selling its Alder Lake-S as expected. I am the first surprised after seeing the great performance of the 12th generation Intel Core chips, especially in gaming.
They are not much more expensive than the competition, so I do not fully understand the “little success”, will people be waiting for Raptor Lake y a Zen 4? Quite possibly. If we do a deeper reading, people prefer to opt for a socket that has already reached its end (AM4) than for a new platform (LGA1700).
The source points out that the reason would be in the discount that the Zen 3 have received, but the truth is that in Spain it is difficult to buy the Ryzen 5 5600X at €250 that is seen in Europe. However, we have seen stores that have the Intel Core i5-12600K at around €280, which seems to me to be a much better buy.
Germany is AMD team? Well, the ball is in Intel’s court with its 13th generation whose improvements will focus on architecture, new high-performance cores and some ace up the blue team’s sleeve.
