AMD has clawed back a hefty 10% market share in the desktop x86 CPU segment over the last year. And that has us wondering, could those crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs be hurting Intel’s sales?

I mean that’s a pretty obvious yes. Even if the 285k had been a decent product I still wouldn’t have considered it after seeing that Intel knew about oxidation issues and tried to hide it. Then you have the poor thermals and high power draw of previous 2 gens on top of the cpu problems. I’d already made up my mind to upgrade to AM5 before the 9800x3d was released and reviewed.
