AMD on the Offensive - Ryzens Much More Popular Than Intel Us
Intel still rules the U market, but AMD is starting to tread on its heels. In fact, the new Ryzen 5000 have made AMD's Us much more popular in some stores than Intel's.
If you follow the hardware surveys on Steam, it's no secret that AMD lags far behind both Nvidia and Intel. However, the advantage of the latter may soon decrease. At least that's what the data on July processor sales at the German Mindfactory suggests, as much as 76% of which were AMD products (via Reddit). Apparently, the situation is similar on Amazon, where the ten most purchased U models include as many as eight products from AMD's catalog.
Funnily enough, in the case of Mindfactory.de, sales of Ryzen Us in July decreased, not increased. In June and May, AMD's models ed for more than 80% of all Us purchased. By contrast, the company ended 2020 with 91% against Intel's 9%, largely due to the warm reception of models based on Zen 3 architecture, as these ed for most of Us bought at Mindfactory.de, both last year and this year.

Of course, data from a single store can not be used to for an "AMD conquers the market" thesis. However, similar trends can be seen in other sellers such as Chinese Longson project.
