November was said to be a great month for AMD in terms of consumer desktop CPUs on Amazon. Data from TechEpiphany shared on X shows that the top three CPUs by revenue were all AMD Ryzen X3D processors, listed in the following order:

Intel’s Performance

In contrast, Intel’s leading CPU in terms of revenue, the Core Ultra 9 285K, only reached around $524,990 according to TechEpiphany. This is rather disappointing, especially considering that the similarly priced Ryzen 9 9950X3D generated 499% more revenue for AMD. The revenue difference was an eye-popping 838% when comparing the Ryzen 7 9800X3D to the Core Ultra 9 285K.

Performance Comparisons

It is pretty clear why the Ryzen 9 9950X3D outperformed the Core Ultra 9 285K in sales when we examine their performance. Based on our review of the 16-core Ryzen processor, the performance gap between the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and the Core Ultra 9 285K is just 3% to 4% in the Cinebench 2024 single-core and multi-core tests. When you factor in about 30% better gaming performance, it is easy to understand why the Ryzen 9 9950X3D made significantly more money than the Core Ultra 9 285K (available on amazon.com).

Gaming Dominance

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D continues to dominate in gaming. Although it does not provide as much multi-core performance as the Ryzen 9 9950X3D or the Core Ultra 9 285K, it is faster and more efficient in gaming tasks.

Lastly, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is also a fantastic option for gamers. It ranks just behind the Ryzen 7 9800X3D and the Ryzen 9 9950X3D in gaming performance. Still, it is more efficient than both of those Zen 5 processors. Additionally, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is currently priced at only $369.99 on Amazon, a much better deal compared to the $454.99 Ryzen 7 9800X3D and the $679.99 Ryzen 9 9950X3D.
