GlacierNine I predict bug's reply will focus solely on the US Amazon figures, he will justify that by claiming it is the largest market, and he will further state that the proliferation of AMD CPUs further down the list is due to overly aggressive competition by vendors clearing out their AMD product during an Intel shortage, and therefore does not reflect the real tendency of the market when stable.

See, this is why talking to an AMD aficionado is unpleasant. I was merely asking why websites use obscure outlets to prove something when they can source their number from more widely known sources, that's all.Beyond that, you'd have to be blind to not be able to see AMD is doing way better than they were just a couple of years ago. That's pretty much non-news today. Using obscure sources to make an article stating the obvious doesn't do much, besides giving Intel aficionados more food for their conspiracy theories. So given a choice, I rather wouldn't do that.On top of that, I get that me being unwilling to crucify Intel for whatever the reason of the day happens to be, makes me an Intel shill in the eyes of some. But I would like to tell you that even before Zen was launched I kept saying that even the most avid Intel supporters would be wise to root for AMD, if only to keep prices in check. Even if I own an i5 6600k (after owning a 2500k before it) and not planing to upgrade anytime soon (because I don't need to) I don't have any brand loyalty. I have owned AMD in the past and I buy whatever givesthe best bang for the buck for the thingneed to do with my computer.
