Summary: AMD’s position in the consumer processor market continues to strengthen, while Intel faces challenges. A report detailing Amazon’s CPU sales for March 2025 in the United States indicates that nearly 80% of sales on the platform were attributed to AMD.
TechEpiphany’s March sales statistics reveal that AMD sold approximately 31,600 processors, while Intel sold only 7,500 units, resulting in a market share of 78% for AMD compared to 21% for Intel.
In terms of revenue, AMD outperformed Intel significantly, earning $7.8 million on Amazon, approximately 420% higher than Intel’s $1.5 million.
AMD also enjoyed a higher average selling price (ASP) of $247, exceeding Intel’s ASP of $209. A notable contributor to this was the $479 Ryzen 7 9800X3D, the best-selling processor of the month, with over 6,000 units sold, which drove up AMD’s average.

AMD is likely pleased with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D being the best-selling CPU, despite reports of over 100 unexpected failures since its launch, particularly with Asrock motherboards, showing signs of burn or electrical damage.
This week, AMD addressed the Ryzen 7 9800X3D failures, attributing them to memory compatibility issues that prevent processors from completing POST. Most affected chips did boot initially, running anywhere from half an hour to several months before failing, with physical damage observed in some, which is atypical for compatibility issues.
Additionally, March proved to be a successful month for AMD regarding Steam survey results, with AMD’s processor share increasing by 6.5% while Intel’s share decreased by the same amount. This resulted in a record high of 37.6% among Valve survey participants using AMD CPUs.
