AMD's Ryzen 7 7800X3D Selling Nearly Twice as Fast as 5800X3D in Some Regions
AMD's cheapest Zen 4 X3D processor is shaping up to be its most popular. Sales numbers from Germany's Mindfactory posted by TechEpiphany seemingly shows the recently launched Ryzen 7 7800X3D outselling last year's Ryzen 7 5800X3D nearly 2:1, with 4,720 7800X3Ds selling to the 5800X3D's 2,510 over a few week period. While these figures show sales for only a single region, evidence for this momentum is reflected in other regional retailers as well as some global outlets. On Amazon, for example, the 7800X3D has made a frequent appearance on the top 10 best selling CPUs list, with the rest of the Zen 4 lineup trailing well behind. Newegg reports the 7800X3D to be among the top 5 best selling CPUs on the site at time of writing. Microcenter also shows the 7800X3D and 5800X3D side-by-side in seventh and eighth places respectively for popularity.
Despite recent troubles with the AM5 platform and Zen 4 X3D processors, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D is proving to be quite a success for AMD. The 7800X3D in our review was shown to be one of the most efficient processors we've ever tested, and offered gaming performance at or near the top of the charts across the gauntlet of games and resolutions thrown at it. The staggered release of the 7000X3D lineup, with the 7950X3D and 7900X3D launching first and the 7800X3D launching later, gave early signals that AMD knew what they had and wanted to push as many early adopters away from the better value chip as they could. Pricing for the Ryzen 7 7800X3D has been steady since it released, however we've already seen retailers offering discounts on the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and Ryzen 9 7900X3D, as they presumably struggle to sell as well as the more aggressively positioned 7800X3D.

Second, your comment borders on conspiracy theory. You are saying that pre-built / OEMs are specifically deciding to sweep this particular issue under the rug. Ignoring the fact that users of said system still have access to reddit / social media. Such a claim with no supporting evidence in today's world is frankly just throwing stuff and the wall and seeing what sticks. There's no grand conspiracy to hide this specific AMD issue. If the KrisFix cracked AMD GPU die nothingburger is anything to go by people are more than happy to jump on anything that might end up being an issue. That fact should be plainly clear in the modern social media world.
thanks!
Plus, if it happens, I am sure affected owners would get replacement boards and CPU.
Theres no evidence whatsoever that this issue is widely occurring.
Laggy, buggy and be happy that all sites conveniently stopped reporting 0.1% lows.
Scummy tactics at it's finest on all fronts.
No thanks AMD
I have this odd weekly tendency to have a quick peak atAmazons best seller CPUs (UK). The 5800X3D held the #1 spot for some time only today its showing at #3. The 7800X3D has been moving up the ladder and if these sale figures are correct, lets see if it transcends. Maybe us Brits are not twice as fast as the rest of the world (or Germany) and probably prefer the value-driven alternative 5600/5700X/5700X3D
I'd been hopeful, with AMD introducing 'socketed, embedded' AM4 CPUs.

To put it in simple terms. They are not doing so well as they should be. I read this mind numbing crap so you don't have too. :p.
This is due to several factors on why there is a decline on profits, but one of them is the BullSh!t moves by high end management. Talking bobble heads will market speak and spin everything and you can even smooooosh the financials a bit, but not completely.
Lets just wait until we see how "great" AMD is doing when we see the next financials. If there is an increase of profitability... Then you can sing the praises that the AM5 motherboard is healthy and great.
BUT as stated before and proven by you know... REAL LIFE NUMBERS you know... REAL MONEY BEING MADE is not as much as was from year to year. From where I stand it looks like millions of users are NOT making the upgrade right now. Maybe in another year but NOT right now..
Because AMD is still enforcing the AMD tax on Motherboards and people just don't have the money for it.
We now will go to our station break with some smooth relaxing Airport Lounge Jazz.
Well then, they better not go out of business, this industry needs competition. Unless you like Intel calling all the shots?
Intel's numbers are bad too for retail CPU's.
You can expect to see a 40-60% decline in YoY sales for at least another 3-6 months from most any computer related vendor.
We've just had a major demand bubble pop not too long ago thanks to buttcoin mining mostly going away and for the average wage earning person the economy might as well be in a recession right now. That is why prices on lots of other things like DDR5 RAM and SSD's have also gone down massively in the last 6 months or so.
None of that means that the 7800X3D can't still be selling relatively well as the article headline says.AMD is doing fine over all due to their server sales and custom silicon (consoles) revenues.
Its just retail CPU sales that are down big time.
They're in a much MUCH better financial state than they were a few years ago. If Zen had been a bust then they might've gone out of business.
Hopefully the AGESA team gets it together.It wasn't mostly ASUS, it was quite literally everyone pumping the poor things full of juice. ASUS just did it harder (they've always done this in their pitch for extra compatibility, it's not like their hardware designers are magicians). AMD also failed to implement some safeguards onto the AGESA code and into the CPU logic itself, so it came to that fiery result.
That takes time to figure and compare which is why a single Q's results press release tells but a sliver of the story about a company.
GN flat out stated the others were typically under 1.3v but had other bugs that could come together to cause problems.
Gigabyte for instance had a bug where BIOS volt settings were being ignored but also that getting to overvolt SOC to over 1.3v wasn't something that typically happened. They had to try and force it to occur....except with ASUS.
My own Gigabyte mobo never went over 1.25v for instance and that was when overclocking the RAM as much as possible.
None of those bugs were related to AGESA though. That was mobo vendors screwing things up which they've done before in the past. GN did a video years ago about the mobo vendors doing the same stuff with Intel motherboards.
AMD's mistake was not clamping down it like Intel did years ago before it turned into a mess. They let the mobo guys do what they wanted and now they get at least some of the blame for that error.
