According to recent announcements, Intel is struggling with its Core Ultra 200S CPUs, while AMD, thanks to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, is making significant gains in the Korean DIY market. We are seeing similar trends across various online retail sites, where AMD has made significant progress surpassing Intel CPUs. The same is happening in South Korea, where the DIY market is experiencing a substantial increase in sales of AMD CPUs. According to the latest report from the source Danawa, AMD has achieved 62% of total CPU sales, marking a 6% jump from July’s share this year. This is the first time a significant gap between AMD and Intel in CPU sales has been recorded in South Korea.
Compared to last year, AMD has made considerable gains, increasing its CPU market share from 41% to a solid 62%. Meanwhile, Intel has dropped to just 38% in the past week. While the chart does not include the latest statistics, it’s reasonable to assume that the orange bar exceeds 60, while the blue bar is below 40. According to one official, one of the reasons users are avoiding the Core Ultra 200S CPUs is the likelihood that upcoming Intel CPUs will not work with motherboards using the LGA 1851 socket. Another official noted that sales of Intel Core Ultra 200S are lower than the previous generation, and the launch of the Ryzen 7 9800X3D has been the final nail in the coffin.
Here’s a statement from the source:
If the current situation continues, the market share of AMD Ryzen processors will continue to grow for a considerable period, unless a significant change occurs.
