What sales, they hardly had any stock available. I've been trying since the release to get my hands on a Ryzen 5900x and they're sold out everywhere. I'm trying to get on a waiting list for it now, fingers crossed that they can deliver before the new year.

What is better? Ryzen 5000 or Core i7-10700K?

The Ryzen 5900x bests the 10900K on price, power usage, single-threaded performance and multi-threaded performance.

The article states as much. Most of the sales aren't from 4th gen ryzen, though the 5600x has had a fair amount of sales.

My biggest gripe with amd is that I need to think about gfx card when buying one. I’d love to have a simple vega 8 in all of their cpus.

I got a 5800X this week from my local MicroCenter to build a new system for Flight Simulator (they are sold out 5800X and 5900X or and 5000 series at all currently). Getting a new video card is also a problem.

The Ryzen 5000 is basically across the board superior to the nearest Intel competitor.

That is, 5600X > 10600k, 5700X > 10700k, etc... This is, however, assuming MSRP pricing for both. If the Ryzen is being marked up due to shortage while the Intel is being discounted a significant enough price gap could warrant still going with Intel.

I have a hard time believing that most purchasers of high-end consumer CPUs wouldn't use a discrete GPU. What's the use-case you're envisioning where an integrated GPU is a good use of die space?

I don't get why AMD refused to sell the Ryzen 4000 APUs directly. They would make a great CPU for some small builds that aren't going to game...
