AMD beats Intel in desktop CPU share

That's quite misleading, that's for PassMark, a software mostly used by more techy people when they buy a new machine.

Yeah, I'm sceptical of this claim. I love AMD but I don't think the turnaround, even for desktop users, has been so quick.

Hold up, are you an Intel fanboy? You might be the only one I've ever come across.

Intel is such a crappy company and pretty much all their products have been bested by AMD. Can't understand your position at all.

This. These numbers are closer to sales share than a share of the total install base. There are still many people with old CPUs who don't run tests.

Maybe so, but at least i dont have to worry about RAM compatibilities.

Only thing that pisses me off about intel is their sockets keep changing which requires a new motherboard.


But overall Intel definitely has the most market share, of all the PC's at my multiple clients ive only seen a couple of AMD based PC's.

I would say ive seen 5 in 200 PC's that have AMD.
 
I am an AMD fanboy, BUT if you have the money, I still say go Nvidia Intel build. Intel is core performance and for me If I had 40-60k I'd go Intel 9 and then a fat Nvidia graphics card and I'd be fine for a good 4-6 years if nothing pops.

Although I think this piece is seriously misleading. I think the M1 Apple chip has been a huge blow to Intel. Not because Apple dumped Intel. Not because it is Apple. Not because they suddenly made a revolutionary change (they didn't Intel has been stagnant for some time). It showed clear dominance of a ARM chip over an Intel. Something that made a lot of investors and corporate types say, "Hey, maybe something isn't going so well over at Intel".

Having worked in non software companies before, a lot of them follow the advice and research of big companies. And a big company like Apple showing clearly that Intel has lost their dominance is something that CFO can't refute and would force them to relook at their strategy.

I don't think it is going to be a good year at Intel

Not with the Ryzen 5000 series, it's on average now faster (in gaming and single thread operations) than Intel's top chips. You could probably eek a little more out if you overclock the snot out of a 10900K but most people don't run overclocked 24/7 anyway.

Intel will probably regain a slight lead with the 11 series chips coming out sometime this quarter.

With GPUs I would agree, Nvidia just offers more right now.

R850 a month over 5 years for a PC is a bit steep in my books, but that's just me.

Yea that's why I am saying if I had that type of cash.

Yea, I have the Ryzen 9, I am very well aware of the performance of AMD like I said I am an AMD fanboy. But I do respect Intel builds.

I'm confused about your statement though, "Intel is core performance". What do you mean then if it's not faster?
 
Isn't Passmark famous for creating a benchmark biased towards making Intel CPUs look better?

AMD is fun but it runs hot, I had to replace the heatsink and a few other components just to keep everything cool while I game while stock cooler for intel at i7 level runs really well and doesn't go too far into the red. AMD if you're not careful that puppy gets hot even without overclocking. Intel for me is the baseline and you know it's gonna run forever, I upgraded from my i5 to the Ryzen 9 only after 8 years and could play most games. a Friend has a Ryzen 5 3600 with onboard graphics and he's had it for 2 years and it like to act up. But whatever just my opinion man secretly deep down I was an Intel fan boy but after Ryzen 9 it's like you just can't go back even for the price.

Bwahahaha!

Not true anymore. Intel CPUs now use 50% more power, which means they produce 50% more heat.

Intel is now hot and loud.

You would buy the slower CPU. Why? Intel is now slower than AMD.
