I feel there is no reason to worry for AMD. Demand is cyclical, and when there are better/ newer alternatives, it is expected that demand for older chip will drop. Not to mention that AMD have sold very well last year, and I really don't expect demand to be red hot, especially when Zen 4 chips are on the horizon.

Intel's Alder Lake is highly competitive and a better buy in many performance brackets. For the first time I'm seeing serious discounts on zen 3 parts.

Competition is a good thing. My next build will likely be rocket RAPTOR lake if this price to performance competitiveness remains.

Intel has a large incumbent advantage that will dominate if the performance difference is small either way.

Intel dominated last year too...

Intel x86 Desktop CPU Market Share: 84%
Intel x86 Laptop CPU Market Share: 78%
Intel x86 Server CPU Market Share: 89%

The only thing AMD had a high market share on was DIY builds... but that looks to be tied with Alder Lake now.

Is that owned market share, or sales market share?

Is that owned market share, or sales market share?

Should be sales. AMD had about 25% of the x86 market last year, but that included consoles. Remove millions of console CPU's, and the above market share numbers look pretty much in line.

Why Rocket Lake?

Why Rocket Lake?

Sorry meant Raptor Lake. Good catch. Thanks.
