The situation of the processor market has taken a major turn in recent months. AMD has grown a lot, stealing a large share of market share from Intel, with the Ryzen having a 90% market share. These data reported by the German store Mindfactory, show the strength of the Ryzen solutions. But it seems that AMD is losing some steam in the CPU and GPU market.
It is logical that after weeks of rise there is a contraction in both markets, something that is quite normal. It is not possible to go up and up or stay at the same level, there are often fluctuations. These can occur for a large number of reasons, even leaving the confinement in Europe would affect.

During week 24, according to MindFactory's report, 2.050 Ryzen 5 3600 processors were sold . The closest competitor is the Ryzen 7 3700X, with 1.060 units sold, almost half the sales of the top seller. To find the best-selling Intel processor, we have to go way down the list, finding the Core i7-9700K with 140 units sold.
According to data from the German retailer, of the 6.115 processors sold, 5.290 units are AMD and the rest, 825 units, are from Intel. This means that AMD has 86.5% share and AMD 13.5% share. The drop is less than 1% and just 3.5% from the peak. Looking at the data as a whole, the drop in processor sales is ridiculous.
| Processor | Turnover |
|---|---|
| AMD Ryzen 5 3600 | 2050 |
| AMD Ryzen 7 3700X | 1060 |
| AMD Ryzen 9 3900X | 450 |
| AMD Ryzen 5 2600 | 340 |
| AMD Ryzen 3200G | 330 |
| AMD Ryzen 5 3600X | 260 |
| AMD Ryzen 7 3800X | 200 |
| AMD Ryzen 3 3300X | 180 |
| AMD Ryzen 5 3400G | 150 |
| Intel Core i7-9700K | 140 |
| Intel Core i5-9600K | 80 |
| Intel Core i9-9900K | 60 |
| AMD Ryzen 5 1600 | 60 |
| Intel Core i7-10700K | 60 |
| Intel Core i3-9100F | 50 |
| Intel Core i5-10600K | 40 |
| AMD Athlon 300G | 40 |
| AMD Ryzen 9 3950X | 40 |
| Intel Core i9-9900K | 30 |
It also loses share against NVIDIA
Regarding graphics cards, the best-selling model is the RTX 2070 (including both the non-SUPER and SUPER versions) with 1.110 units, followed by the GTX 1660 with 610 units, almost half. AMD's best-selling graphics card is the RX 5700 XT with 520 units, less than half the sales of NVIDIA cards.
This retailer has sold 5.055 graphics cards, of which 3.065 are NVDIA graphics and 1.990 are AMD units. Thus NVIDIA has a 60.6% market share compared to AMD's 39.4% share. These data represent a drop in market share of approximately 4%. It is not worrying either, since everything is variable and many may wait for the RDNA2 to update (or the Ampere)
| Graphic card | Sales |
|---|---|
| RTX 2070 | 1110 |
| GTX 1660 | 610 |
| RTX 2060 | 525 |
| Radeon RX 5700 XT | 520 |
| Radeon RX 5700 | 400 |

We cannot draw conclusions because there may be a thousand reasons for this change in trend to occur.
