In brief: AMD is continuing to see its fortunes rise in the consumer processor market as Intel struggles. According to a report on Amazon CPU sales for March 2025 in the United States, almost 8 out of every 10 units sold on the platform were from Team Red. Amazon's CPU sales figures for March, provided by TechEpiphany, reveal that AMD sold 31,600 processors last month, while Intel managed just 7,500. That translates to a 78% market share for AMD versus 21% for Intel.AMD's dominance is also reflected in revenue: it generated $7.8 million on the platform approximately 420% more than Intel's $1.5 million.AMD had a higher average selling price (ASP) as well, at $247, compared to Intel's $209. One key factor behind this was the $479 Ryzen 7 9800X3D, which was the best-selling processor of the month with over 6,000 units sold helping boost AMD's average significantly.It's noted that a few hundred Ryzen 9XX0X3D units are missing from the report, so AMD's dominance could have been even more convincing. // Related StoriesLooking at individual unit sales, the Ryzen 5 5500 and Ryzen 7 7800X3D took the second and third spots, respectively, with over 3,000 sales. Intel's highest CPU, the core i5-12400F, is in fourth.CPU ModelManufacturerCores/ThreadsPricePurchases (Last Month)AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3DAMD8C/16T$479.006k+AMD Ryzen 5 5500AMD6C/12T$83.103k+AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3DAMD8C/16T$399.003k+Intel Core i5-12400FIntel6C/12T$116.003k+AMD Ryzen 5 5600XAMD6C/12T$149.002k+AMD Ryzen 5 7500XAMD8C/16T$159.992k+AMD Ryzen 5 7600XAMD6C/12T$229.002k+AMD Ryzen 7 5800XAMD8C/16T$172.992k+AMD Ryzen 9 9900XAMD12C/24T$414.232k+Intel Core i7-12700KIntel12C/20T$234.001k+Intel Core i9-14900KIntel24C/32T$432.991k+AMD Ryzen 9 9950XAMD16C/32T$549.001k+AMD Ryzen 7 7700XAMD8C/16T$329.001k+Intel Core i9-12900KIntel16C/24T$319.001k+AMD Ryzen 9 7900XAMD12C/24T$357.541k+AMD Ryzen 7 5700GAMD8C/16T$171.991k+Intel Core i5-12600KFIntel10C/16T$157.00500+Intel Core i9-12900KFIntel16C/24T$269.99500+AMD Ryzen 5 8500GAMD6C/12T$143.00500+Intel Core Ultra 7 265KIntel20C/28T$336.58500+AMD Ryzen 5 5600GTAMD6C/12T$129.99500+AMD Ryzen 5 4500AMD6C/12T$79.00500+Intel Core i5-13600KFIntel14C/20T$199.00200+AMD Ryzen 5 8600GAMD6C/12T$188.96200+Intel Core i3-12100FIntel4C/8T$84.99200+AMD Ryzen 7 7700AMD8C/16T$309.00200+Intel Core i7-13700KFIntel16C/24T$299.00200+AMD Ryzen 9 7950XAMD16C/32T$548.99500+AMD Ryzen 9 5900XTAMD16C/32T$323.99500+AMD Ryzen 3 3200GAMD4C/8T$109.00200+Intel Core i3-14100FIntel4C/8T$90.0750+Intel Core i5-10400Intel6C/12T$129.9950+Intel Core i9-9900KFIntel8C/16T$295.0050+Intel Core i7-13700Intel16C/24T$319.9550+Intel Core i9-12900KSIntel16C/24T$404.4350+AMD will likely be pleased to see the Ryzen 7 9800X3D topping the chart as the best-selling CPU. There have been over 100 cases of the chip failing unexpectedly since it launched, mostly on Asrock motherboards and sometimes with signs of burn or electrical damage.AMD responded to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D issues this week. It said the problems were down to memory compatibility issues for processors failing to complete POST, even though most of the affected chips did initially boot and ran for anywhere from half an hour to several months before dying. There was also the physical damage, which isn't a typical symptom of memory compatibility issues.March was also a good month for AMD in terms of Steam survey CPU results. The company's share in the processor section jumped 6.5% as Intel fell by the same margin. This means 37.6% of participants in Valve's survey now use an AMD CPU, marking a record high.
