Intel erased all the market share gains AMD CPUs made this year

Now there's obviously a few *** as Steam hardware surveys aren't a reliable source. And obviously the fact that AMD CPUs have been largely out of stock while only recently being available the purchase. But the main thing of course is that this year, AMD doesn't have anything value oriented for budget buyers like Intel does. Their cheapest CPU for DIY starts at $300 and in a couple months, $260 with the 5600G, Eventually their quad core parts will come out but until then, Intel will dominate the low end SKUs, especially with the 11400 starting at $182. Regardless, I don't think AMD should be worried as selling every CPU they have available is not a bad thing.

Nice, so next year is when we're gonna see the next generation of high end Noctua coolers. Not sure what else they can do to improve on the performance from the regular NH-D15, but that'll be interesting to see for sure. The thing I really want though, is that desk fan :o Seeing as they decent silent fans, I'd buy one (assuming its good).
About AMD, I think they kinda deserve it tbh. Hopefully this will give them some restraint on the pricing on next gen CPU's as the mid-end SKU's are quite poor value for money (VS Intel) unless you can catch a good deal. Wonder if Alderlake will be enough to give Zen 4 a run for its money.
