Coffee lake processors manage to beat amd ryzen in sales

It seems that the Intel 'Coffee Lake' chips have started to become more popular compared to AMD's among the masses, as revealed in the latest CPU sales statistics that were revealed by Mindfactory.de. We're talking about sales from Germany's largest retailer, which are revealing that Intel's CPUs have started selling more than AMD's.

Coffee Lake has been outpacing Ryzen sales since launch

AMD processors had started to dominate the market over Intel since Ryzen's arrival, reaching its peak in November 2017, where they achieved 58% of sales that month against 42% of Intel. But everything started to change from December and January, when the new Intel Core 'Coffee Lake' processors landed in stores.

Intel Core i7-8700K is preferred by 'gamers'

In the latest data for the month of January, we can see that sales have been reversed, with Intel achieving 58% of sales and AMD 42% of sales.

As we can see from the graph, one of the big culprits of this success was the Core i7-8700K processor, which is currently the best gaming CPU. On the AMD side, the Ryzen 5 1600 is still the best processor, striking a perfect balance between price and performance in return, this has been practically the case since launch.

We will have to see the impact that the arrival of the new Ryzen 2000 will have from the month of April, in a battle that will be very interesting in front of Coffee Lake .
