AMD Discussion

Yes, I noticed that in userbenchmark the 1600 is the 6th more popular CPU and the FX-8350 went up to 3rd from its usual 4th place.

Well, the FX-6300 is back to the 6th place there, with the 1600 following. It is usually the best selling FX processor at amazon.com .

So, according to this site, the 1600 has in two and a half months reached about the same installed base as that kept by the FX-6300 since October 2012. Note that this statistic could be skewed by new builds.

What is interesting is that AMD in marketing material promotes highest yield.

That is true. They forgot to mention the capacity GloFo has, compared to other manufacturers ;).
 
Marketing-oriented engineering goes beyond heatsinks on some motherboards.

At least you can normally remove the heatsinks if they are worse than nothing.
 
The Ryzen 5 1400 now costs less than the FX-8370 with Wraith which costs less than the FX-8350 with Wraith at amazon.com . :confused:

With so much AM3+ being sold still, it would be nice to see 22FDX Excavator v3 FX as an upgrade path.

L3 effect at 2933MHz:


I would say that basically, no X is worth it if you'll be doing a simple overclock.

That seems to be rather nonsensical - "new posts to Passmark" does not equal "market share". It simply means "new posts to Passmark".

And, of course, since AMD has some new CPUs and Intel not so much, you'd expect more new AMD posts - which has nothing to do with market share.

It is an indicator of the installed base, not sales.

Of course you expect it to be biased towards new builds. I also think that Ryzen might be motivating more people with older AMD processors to check how slow their systems are.

The share for individual models is different from that of userbenchmark. This one has Ryzen as the most popular AMD models, which would seem an indicator of more bias towards new systems and/or advanced users.

If new releases weighed so much the results, you would expect a less gradual curve previously.

Also, this graph only shows Windows.

Even if it were only sales, it still shows Intel at around 70%, which is consistent with what @koyoot was saying.

In Steam the full AMD share keeps dropping, now at 19%. AMD is still weak in notebooks.

AMD market share Sales pre Q2 2017 were around 5.5-7%.

Right now, latest, unofficial still, data show it should be between 25-28%.

What's being measured? Just DIY sales, or all PCs sold?

There was no PC's in Q2 available with Ryzen. At least in meaningful way. Only at the end of it there was some amount of PC's with Ryzen announced.

The numbers are all for DIY market. OEM built computers with Ryzen can only increase the sales market share.

More likely an indicator of the first derivative of the installed base.

It seems it was showing the data for the first day of the quarter instead of the last 90 days. The last data point now also looks more believable as an estimation of installed base of Windows instead of sales.
