On: July 4, 2022
Desktop processor gross sales have been on a precipitous decline over the previous a number of weeks and months, and at the least one analyst agency is forecasting an almost double-digit share decline in PC shipments by the tip of 2022. Even so, individuals are nonetheless shopping for CPUs, and selecting up AMD processors at almost double the clip as Intel chips at a serious retailer.

In June, AMD processors account for 63 p.c of Mindfactory’s CPU gross sales, in comparison with 37 p.c for Intel. At the start of the 12 months, the cut up stood at 57 p.c and 43 p.c, additionally in favor of AMD.
It’s not all dangerous information for Intel, although. The gross sales information for June 2021 exhibits that there existed a a lot wider hole a 12 months in the past, with AMD processors accounting for 81 p.c of the retailer’s gross sales versus simply 19 p.c of Intel.
