AMD Ryzen Processors Dominate Best-Seller Lists on Major Retail Platforms
What happened
AMD Ryzen processors are dominating best-seller lists on both Amazon and Newegg. On Amazon, Intel has only a single processor in the top 20, and it is a previous-generation chip. AMD is also starting to outpace Intel in overall desktop market share according to PassMark benchmark data.

Why it matters
The strong performance of AMD Ryzen processors suggests a significant shift in consumer preference and market share away from Intel in the custom build market. This trend was already noted in 2025, when AMD was estimated to hold 92% of the CPU market share.
