- Intel’s new Core 200 Ultra CPUs, especially the 285K, have received an underwhelming response.
- Intel’s market share has plummeted, with AMD dominating the CPU market, with almost 95% of the market share.
- New sales data shows minimal interest in the Core Ultra series.
Intel recently launched its new “Arrow Lake” Core 200 Ultra series of CPUs, but the response has been underwhelming. Despite high hopes, the Core Ultra CPUs, particularly the Intel Core Ultra 285K, fell short in performance, especially for gaming.
In a new sales report, the Core Ultra CPUs are nowhere to be seen. Consumers are showing little to no interest in Intel’s new flagship CPUs.
Why it matters: As Intel looks ahead, it needs to win back gamers while tackling issues with platform compatibility and performance reliability.
AMD is dominating the CPU market, according to recent sales data from the German retailer Mindfactory. The latest numbers show that AMD holds an impressive 94.81% market share, while Intel has just 5.19%.
AMD sold 730 units compared to Intel’s 40, which shows the strong demand for AMD’s Ryzen processors.
The Ryzen 5000 and 7000 series are still the most popular choices among users. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D remains the favorite, making it the best-selling CPU at Mindfactory from October 21st to 27th.
Interestingly, after the launch of Arrow Lake, no Intel Core 200 Ultra CPUs made it into the top 10 list, possibly due to low stock or weak demand. These CPUs appear to fall short compared to both AMD’s options and even some older Intel processors that many buyers still prefer.
After the official reveal, reviewers quickly noted that the gaming improvements are limited, with the Core Ultra 285K even performing worse than its predecessor, the 14900K.
This new lineup feels more like an update than a real upgrade, especially since it requires a new Z890 motherboard for compatibility.
Meanwhile, AMD appears set to keep its winning streak going. With its reliable AM5 platform, new chip releases, and a focus on consumer needs, AMD is likely to stay ahead in the CPU market.
