AMD Ryzen Surpasses Intel Core CPUs In Korean DIY Market, Ryzen 5 7500F Top-Selling AM5 Chip

AMD Ryzen CPUs have once again managed to surpass Intel Core CPUs in the Korean DIY market, as reported by Danwa Research.

Danawa Research, the leading Korean research outlet that compiles analytics data from various major DIY outlets has released their latest report which shows that AMD is once again leading over Intel in terms of CPU sales and volume.

The report shows that AMD's Ryzen AM5 CPUs now retain a 55.3% share of all CPUs sold in the month of October (2023) compared to AM4 CPUs which have a share of 44.7%. It's still superb for AM4 to be this strong despite being an older platform and it is also due to the fact that the older Ryzen 5000/4000/3000 CPUs & APUs offer tremendous value. Plus the Ryzen 7 5800X3D has been a crowd-pleaser in the DIY segment which had pushed AM4 sales to new heights earlier in the year.
