On June 11, AMD’s senior marketing director shared a screenshot of Amazon US CPU best‑seller list, captioning “15/15 AMD, incredible.” AMD processors claimed all top 15 spots ; Intel was completely absent.
The #1 spot went to the R7 9800X3D at $449, a gamer favorite. Second was the **R5 5500** at $84, offering strong value. X3D models dominated: R7 7800X3D and R9 9950X3D both ranked in the top 10, while non‑X3D versions of the same chips were absent – proving the appeal of 3D V‑Cache for gaming.
Multiple generations appeared: Ryzen 5000 series (R7 5800XT, R5 5600, R7 5700X) remain competitive on price, especially with DDR5 prices elevated. Among recent launches, the R7 9850X3D ranked #17 and R9 9950X3D2 #25.
Intel’s highest ranking chip on the same list was the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus at #17. Industry watchers believe Intel will need its Nova Lake architecture to regain retail momentum.
ICgoodFind: AMD’s X3D advantage and multi‑generation value line keep Intel out of Amazon’s top 15. The retail CPU battle is AMD’s to lose.
