If AMD’s Ryzen processors are so good and selling out, how does Intel still retain a higher market share?
In: Economics
Boils down to three points:
AMD only started making decent processors a few years back
Intel have held onto the market pretty much since the 8086 (30 years ago)
It takes time for people to be able to afford to buy new processors/ systems and for them to be produced
Basically, Intel still hold the market share because they’ve held it for much longer, and while AMD’s processors are better overall, Intel’s do have strong points, and people will buy them because they’ve always brought intel. Hence, they still hold the market share.
Give a few years, and it’ll probably tip more in AMDs favour, more than it already is.
