Intel’s share of the consumer processor market at Germany-based technology retailer Mindfactory has fallen below 5% for the first time. According to last week’s sales data, Intel’s revenue share dropped to 4.95%, while AMD holds a significant share of the market with 95%.

Intel is losing ground

Looking at processor units sold at Mindfactory, AMD sold a total of 3,655 CPUs, while Intel only managed to sell 250. Of these sales, 40 were new generation Intel Arrow Lake processors, while the remaining 200 or so were 12th, 13th, and 14th generation LGA 1700 compatible processors.

On the AMD side, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D leads the list with a speed of 4.70 GHz and 1,290 units sold. This is followed by the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and other AM5 and AM4 compatible Ryzen 9000, 7000, and 5000 series. Looking at total unit share, AMD has a 93.6% share.

With an average selling price of €310, AMD processors lag behind Intel in both unit sales and revenue. The rising prices of Intel’s 14th generation processors are another reason for the low sales.

This situation is not limited to Germany; it is also reflected in Amazon sales in the US. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D and 7800X3D outsell all Intel CPUs. The delayed release of Intel’s Nova Lake series is weakening the company’s dominance in the desktop segment. These figures reveal that Intel’s decline in the consumer market is accelerating, and competition is increasingly shifting in AMD’s favor.
