Intel has a Pretty Big Problem..


"After Ryzen 7 9800X3D with 6000+ Units Shipments, Ryzen 5 5500 is at Number Two, Outselling the Entire Core Ultra 200S Stack"

Several CPU models missing from their data like the 14700K which significantly out sells the 14900K (or was). I was always curious how poor the 14600K was doing though - a segment that normally sells well but AMD seems to have stolen a lot of that market and/or people still buying 12th gen instead.

EDIT: For the previous month they had 14700 sales at less than 5% of 14900 sales which is not reflected elsewhere, hence why you need a range of sources for these things.

Mindfactory numbers (keep in mind they sell heavily into an AMD market and tend to cater for that market):

14700K 6,680
14900K 4,300
14600K 4,260
12th/13th gen mid-range - 10,000-20,000 i.e. 13700K 11,240.

7800X3D 82,030
9800X3D 21,150
7700X 20,030
7950X 7,240
7600(X) 33,880

Average across several retailers (of varying sales volume) who sell into more "neutral" markets:

14600K 4,600
14700K 5,600
14900K 2,900
12th/13th gen mid range average ~7,000

7800X3D 11,000
9800X3D 3,200
7700X 3,200
AMD 7000/9000 mid range average ~5,000 (Going back to the 5000 series sales volumes are quite high - one retailer sold nearly 60,000 Ryzen 5600).

These numbers are a little deceptive though as across the entire product stack including pre-builds, etc. Intel still outsell AMD by quite a margin.

Overall market Intel is still massively outselling AMD though AMD is selling well in certain segments.

Actual failure rates at retail so far the 7000/9000 series have nearly twice the failure rate of Intel 13th/14th gen ironically - this "50%" failure BS isn't showing up at retail so far.
Where's these supposed numbers posted. Has Intel/AMD actually posted any for the respective gens?

As unless they have all this talk of either party having high returns is just pure speculation ! Any that say one or the other is worse is just guessing.

Neither Intel or AMD have reported returns, but there are a number of retailers (for example Puget Systems) who've released numbers and quite a few retailers like Mindfactory, alza.sk, etc. have return rates on the product pages. Personally I have access to a certain amount of returns data through work for several companies like VIP Computers, Zoostorm and so on but I'm not at liberty to reproduce that data.
