As another commenter noted, this is data from the German online shop MindFactory, which could be understood as the German equivalent to NewEgg. MindFactory would probably overrepresent enthusiast and small business customers, and underrepresent your average consumer who would rather buy their laptop from a big box store (MediaMarkt/Saturn) or enterprise customers, who probably buy directly from Dell/Lenovo/HP/Fujitsu.

Intel reminds me of a skyscraper demolition. At first, it barely falls, but then boy does it fall fast.

They kept missing market after market after market. It’s insane how many chances they had, and they blew them all.

Anyway, now they are a taxpayer’s problem, for the same reason that Boeing is.

The last couple of generations of desktop Intel chips are burning out at stock settings. The current leading edge is both faster and cheaper on AMD, despite being on an older TSMC process. 90% market share to AMD in the DIY/component market in that context seems low.

I don't follow PC hardware at all but recently I'm looking into replacing my 10 year old gaming PC and would normally just throw in an upper-mid range Intel CPU and be done with it

But with the recent failures of intel CPUs it's had me looking into AMDs to find the equivalent. I don't want to risk my investment not lasting because it just burns out over time.

(Also I like the fact that each generation doesn't have a new socket unlike intel)

Well, stats are dubious as it's from a specific shop, but in general, Intel has to be punished for their marketing practices of the last several decades based on market dominance.

Every generation of processor requiring unique slot, remote backdoor integrated in motherboards and multiple vulnerabilities found in recent years is what forced me to switch to AMD several years ago, and my AM4 socket is supported up to this day, even new versions of processors are still provided.

Long term I wonder how healthy x86 is as a whole. It seems like only a matter of time before someone puts out risc-v aws/gcp/azure instances that compete, or puts out a laptop part on a chromebook that kills it.

The only thing holding back the wave is windows... and microsoft themselves seem somewhat open to the idea of not using x86 anymore.

My enterprise Intel based workstation from my job: loud, hot, slow, heavy, inefficient, loaded with security software, malware analyzers, phone home reporting, etc. Horrible experience.

My personal AMD laptop: thin, light, quick, long battery life. Pleasant experience.

Must be in datacenter use, since they've still got a 70% majority [0] in home use and it's barely dropping at all. Maybe gamers are some specific outlier that prefers Intel specifically, but all I hear them talking about are the X3D processors so it doesn't make any sense.

I think lots of people still buy Intel because AMD now charges a notable premium for their understandably vastly better hardware.

I’m very curious as to what the American likely pending increased scheme of tariffs will do for intel. It seems like they could plausibly be the vastly cheaper option by this time next year for US residents.

Well, we have to support promising CPU startup underdogs like Intel! Yes, today they are small, but who knows what future holds.

Well, yes, given Intel's 13th and 14th generation processors self-destruct if you look at them funny, it's not surprising. I am waiting for the Zen5 Threadripper to replace my Xeon.
By @elorant - 5 months
Well I’m not surprised. If you want a CPU with only performance cores Intel has no offerings anymore.
