AMD’s newly launched CPUs – the Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X models – are suffering from low sales in the market.
Data obtained from the number of products sold by the German company Mindfactory reveals that “more than 20” 9600X and “more than 30” 9700X were purchased on its platform – showing that at least in Europe there is not much demand for the hardware.
The same company also makes transparent the number of views that both have had since their launch, showing that enthusiasm for AMD’s new CPUs is low: the Ryzen 5 9600X was searched less than 600 times on the platform, while the Ryzen 7 9700X totals a little over 1,100 searches.
HardwareTimes also showed that they don’t even make it into the top 10 most popular processors on other platforms. While the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X CPU appears in the 39th position of the most popular processors on Amazon, on NewEgg it appears in the 45th position.

Possible reasons for low AMD CPU sales
There are several reasons why AMD Ryzen 9000 CPUs – at least the Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X models – are selling poorly and are not as sought after.
One of them is the price. Featuring the new Zen5 architecture, they are being sold for $279 and $359 – which is relatively cheaper than what was seen with the arrival of the Ryzen 5 7600X and Ryzen 7 7700X. However, the 5% to 10% performance gain did not arouse the public’s desire to seek out the new processors.
Additionally, it is possible that the public is waiting for the launch of other products to decide which one to buy. Even with AMD Ryzen 9000 CPUs on the market, many are waiting for the 9000X3D line with 3D V-Cache.
Taking the guesswork a little further, with Intel about to announce its Arrow Lake-S line of desktop processors – expected to arrive in 2024 – we could also see people waiting to see their performance and benchmarks before committing to purchasing a new CPU.
