AMD’s senior marketing director Sa\u0161a Marinkovi\u0107 went on X to brag about the company’s domination on Amazon’s best-sellers CPU list, sharing a screenshot showing the top 15 spots (at the time of publishing) were held entirely by Ryzen CPUs.<\/p>\n
AMD has perpetually grown its domination on Amazon’s best sellers page over the past several years. AMD began to take off in this “metric” during the Zen 2 era where its CPUs started to take over the top five spots in Amazon’s best sellers list on an almost regular basis. More recently, the top 10 spots have regularly been held by various Ryzen CPUs – new and old.<\/p>\n
Currently, the lead is even greater with the top 16 places on Amazon’s best sellers list consisting of Zen 3, Zen 4, and Zen 5 parts. The only exception is the inclusion of a Thermal Grizzly AM5 contact frame that is taking up one of the slots. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D unsurprisingly sits in first place, but contrarily, the Ryzen 5 5500 takes up the second spot, showing sky-high consumer demand for previous generation budget CPUs amidst the outgoing memory shortage. Critically, the Ryzen 5 5500 can use DDR4 memory, which is cheaper than DDR5 and more readily available. Positions three through ten are held by the Ryzen 5 9600X, Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Ryzen 7 5800XT, Ryzen 9 9950X3D, Ryzen 9 5900XT, Ryzen 5 7600X, Ryzen 5 5600, and Ryzen 7 7700X. The new Ryzen 7 9850X3D<\/a> sits in 16th despite being a faster version of the 9800X3D for an extra $40.<\/p>\n
