What sales, they hardly had any stock available. I've been trying since the release to get my hands on a Ryzen 5900x and they're sold out everywhere. I'm trying to get on a waiting list for it now, fingers crossed that they can deliver before the new year.
There are still no XPS level laptops available with Ryzen CPUs, which makes me so sad. I'd like to upgrade my work machine but I'd prefer not to buy Intel at this time.
As far as manufacturing capacity goes, AMD's GPU and CPU manufacturing is incredibly constrained due to the sheer volume of console SoCs they have to pump out. I believe 80% of their N7 wafer capacity at TSMC is currently dedicated to console SoCs, the remaining 20% being dedicated to CPU and GPU dies.
This is as clickbait as it gets.<p>AMD is doing extremely well, but you need more data than sales from one random retailer, to claim they’re leaving intel in the dust.
If they can really crack the PC laptop market, Intel is really in trouble. They lost phones, are losing Mac, are slowly losing cloud/data center/HPC, and if they lose PC that's about it.
Yeah, I've been trying to buy components for a build for the past two weeks.<p>No 5600x (or even 3600).
No nvidia cards at decent prices.<p>I'm guessing the etherium 2 launch just drained the whole supply chain.
From the article:<p>> ... going by sales figures from one major European retailer... German retailer MindFactory... AMD sold 35,000 units ... whereas Intel ... just over 5,000 units<p>So, this story is a a small sample. It might be true generally, I can't say but the title is somewhat misleading.
There's something wrong in this story. The IdeaPad Slim 7 4800u, a laptop that has been called "too good to be true" has been put of stock due to 4800u supply issues for months.<p>It's super hard to find any laptops with high end (comparable to i7/i9) processors.<p>I'm totally unsure where is the stock coming and going.<p>Tinfoil hat tells me that Intel is buying up all the supply!
