AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is having such a big launch that it has become the top-selling CPU in Germany’s Mindfactory in the first week itself. Beating even 7800X3D.
A few days ago, AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D was officially launched. The independent reviewers that reviewed the CPU found that it’s not only faster than AMD’s official claims, but it’s in fact the fastest gaming CPU in the world. We ourselves called it gaming legend, unknown to us that AMD is using the same term to market the CPU – maybe that came later.
So good is the CPU that we reported how it got sold out within minutes in many places like Germany and other countries. While a lot of it is possibly to due to scalpers having mass purchase the CPUs to seller it later at a higher price, combined with low stock, new numbers suggest that 9800X3D has a high demand too.
9800X3D Becomes Best Selling CPU
Well known Twitter (now X) based poster @TechEpiphanyYT, best known for sharing sale details from Germany’s top retailer Mindfactory, has shared this week’s, that is the launch AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D’s launch week’s CPU sale numbers.
As per the sale figures shared by him, AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is now the best-selling CPU at Germany’s Mindfactory in the first week itself. It beats its predecessor AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which was previously the top-selling CPU and continued to be so until now.
In the first week itself, AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D has topped the charts with 980 unit sales. Followed by AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D with 410 units sales. Then comes AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D (which has virtually replaced Ryzen 5800X3D everywhere) with 330 units sold in trays.
The other CPUs in the top 10 include the likes of AMD Ryzen 7500F, 7600X3D and many other non-X3D CPUs in the Ryzen 5000, Ryzen 7000 and Ryzen 9000 series.
Compared to that, the highest selling CPU from Intel is Core i9-14900K has sold just 30 units. Followed by Intel Core i5-14600KF and Core i5-14600K, who have seen 30 and 20 unit sales respectively. Intel Core Ultra 200 series is almost not even among the sales, with the likes of Core Ultra 5 245K and Core Ultra 7 265K having sold just 5 units each.
However, so big is the demand for AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, that as per Computerbase.de (via VideoCardz), Mindfactory isn’t going to get the next stock till the later parts of December. Which is almost 45 days.
Conclusion
While this sale data is only from the largest retailer in Germany, it gives us some idea how things are going for Intel and AMD in the CPU market.
It’s true that Germany has massively shifted towards being an AMD dominant market in recent years, we are seeing that AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is selling a lot or getting sold out in other regions in the world too. This comes on the backdrop of poor reviews for the AMD Ryzen 9000 non-X3D CPU series. Especially in the gaming performance.
AMD has struck gold with the X3D series with 3D-V Cache based CPUs and it keeps giving them the profits and market share. Just a few days ago, Tom’s Hardware reported how AMD’s CPU market share has skyrocketed in recent years. From having just 11% market share in 2018 to having 24% market share currently. We feel that’s largely due to the popularity of the X3D series of CPU and not just Ryzen series itself.
Whatever maybe the reason, we hope that AMD manages to improve the supply of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. So that anyone who wants it can get it.
