15 years? absolutely not. Before Ryzen in 2017 almost no one was buying AMD.

AMD is at 32.2% unit share of Desktop/Laptop PCs in Q2 2025. Lots of people still buying Intel.

    Athlon64 x2s fucking dominated Pentiums back in the mid 2000s, but the market for people playing games was much smaller. Only with the i-series did Intel come back on top. Ryzen was great when it came out for budget gaming, but Intel still was supreme in perforce until the Ryzen 3D processors came out.

    the person above said:

    anyone i know over the last 15 years has been exclusively getting AMD

    that is 100% nonsense. as stated above even today intel is still outselling AMD 2:1 in the PC market.

    Oh I agree with you, but in my experience the people i know have predominately gone AMD as well. When I bought my 9900k, Reddit was HEAVILY downvoting any Intel support and upvoting AMD support. It doesn’t reflect the market, it I do see that in social trends.

    …that said, while my 9900k still kicks ass, I am never going Intel again after recent news hahaha
