A fresh CPU sales report focusing on sales numbers from German retailer Mindfactory, covering between January 26 and February 1, shows that it’s once again AMD dominating the market. This week was notable for hardware retailers thanks to the release of the Ryzen 7 9850X3D on January 29, so we now have a first glimpse at its sales numbers (in one region).
According to the report, while the Ryzen 7 9850X3D has officially entered the retail market, it has not slowed down demand for the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. In fact, the older chip has outperformed the newer model in terms of sales. While this may suggest that many PC builders still see the 9800X3D as the safer option, time will tell whether this changes soon enough. It’s also worth pointing out that we saw the 9800X3D get a discount at many retailers following the 9850X3D launch.
Ryzen 7 9850X3D launch sales numbers
Looking at the overall numbers, AMD is clearly dominating. The company sold 1,205 CPUs during the week at Mindfactory, which equals 87% of all units sold. Intel, by comparison, sold only 180 units, giving it a 13% share. Revenue figures follow the same pattern. AMD generated over $395,000 in revenue, accounting for more than 90% of total CPU revenue. Intel made just over $42,000, staying below the 10% mark.

Prices correct as of November 5th, 2026.
When we look at sockets, AM5 CPUs lead with 790 units sold. At the same time, AM4 CPUs reached 415 units, which suggests that many are still opting for the older platform, especially at a time when DDR5 RAM prices are sky-high. Intel’s LGA 1700 and other sockets, on the other hand, lagged far behind in comparison.
| Ryzen X3D CPUs | Units sold (week 5) |
|---|---|
| Ryzen 7 9800X3D | 270 |
| Ryzen 7 7800X3D | 90 |
| Ryzen 7 9850X3D | 80 |
| Ryzen 9 9950X3D | 50 |

The SKU breakdown makes the situation even clearer. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D was the best-selling CPU of the week, with 270 units sold, making up nearly one-fifth of all CPU sales. Older but still popular CPUs like the Ryzen 7 5800X and Ryzen 9 5950X followed closely, each selling 100 units.
The Ryzen 7 7800X3D also performed well with 90 units sold, showing continued demand for X3D chips. The newer Ryzen 7 9850X3D came in behind them with 80 units sold, while the Ryzen 9 9950X3D reached 50 units. Of course, the 9850X3D was introduced at the tail end of this week, so we’ll have to wait for further metrics in the near future for the bigger picture.
The rest of the top 10 included the Ryzen 7 9700X and several Ryzen 5 models, such as the 9600X, 7500F, and 5500, each selling around 40 units. No Intel CPU managed to enter the top 10.
