German retailer data shows the surge in Intel motherboard sales
Since AMD released the Zen-architecture Ryzen processor, its motherboards have gradually taken the initiative in Mindfactory sales. In addition, Germany has traditionally been the stronghold of AMD’s sales, which has been suppressing Intel’s platform for a long time. Although the total sales of Intel motherboards have been turned over, the sales volume is still lower than that of AMD motherboards. This is due to the lower average price of AMD motherboards, but it highlights the previous strength of AMD motherboards in Mindfactory sales. In fact, the sales of Intel motherboards began to soar after the Christmas and New Year’s holidays at the beginning of this year. It can be seen that the mainstream 12th generation Core series processors and related motherboards are very impactful after the full rollout.
Raptor Lake is an optimized version of Alder Lake. It still uses the Intel 7 process and is compatible with the current LGA 1700 platform. The flagship product will be configured with 8 Performance Cores and 16 Efficient Cores. Among them, the P-Core will be changed from the Golden Cove architecture to the Raptor Cove architecture, and the E-Core will continue to use the Gracemont architecture.
