AMD CPUs Take Charge over Intel at Leading German Retailer

Stefan Mileschin · 3rd September 2018, 08:06

According to the latest sales report from leading German retailer Mindfactory.de, AMD has managed to stay ahead of Intel in CPU sales in both July and August, mirroring their lead from last year. While Intel is still winning in terms of revenue, an increasing number of enthusiasts appear to be entrusting their money to AMD instead. I believe this could be the combined result of the massive amounts of vulnerabilities Intel processors face, most recently L1TF / Foreshadow where the only real solution to mitigate against it would be to disable hyper threading. Combine this with AMD slashing the prices of their previous generation products while their second-generation products make more of an impact providing higher-quality products and higher performance below every single price point set by Intel.
