8-core CPUs remain the top choice (54.20%), with 6-core close behind, suitable for gaming, multitasking, and productivity.
Platform Shifts:
AM5 leads at nearly 74%, showing sustained migration to AMD's newer platform, while AM4 retains relevance for budget builds.
Packaging Trends:
WOF continues to lead (64.93%), favored for custom cooling in enthusiast setups, with Box and Tray splitting the rest evenly.
iGPU Trends:
Over 80% of sales include integrated graphics, driven by versatile AM5 models (including X3D), enabling systems without dedicated GPUs for basic use or troubleshooting.
Vega iGPU Trends ❤️:
Vega-based iGPUs account for 180 units, primarily from legacy AM4 APUs, representing a small but persistent niche for integrated graphics in older systems.

Brand Dominance:
AMD's share increased to over 92%, driven by high-volume sales of flagship Ryzen models.
Segment Trends:
Mid-to-high-end segments like Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 5 dominate, comprising over 82% of total sales, with strong performance in gaming-oriented X3D variants.
Core Count Preferences:
8-core CPUs lead at nearly 45%, closely followed by 6-core models, emphasizing demand for multi-threaded performance in gaming and content creation.
Platform Shifts:
AM5 surges to over 76%, indicating rapid adoption of AMD's latest platform, while older AM4 still holds a notable share.
Packaging Trends:
WOF remains the top choice at over 69%, appealing to enthusiasts with custom cooling, while Tray sees growth possibly from bulk purchases.
iGPU Trends:
CPUs with integrated graphics now dominate at nearly 80% of sales (up significantly from the previous miscalculation), largely due to the popularity of AM5 models, including X3D variants, which include a basic iGPU for display output and light tasks. This reflects a preference for versatile builds that don't strictly require a discrete GPU, though high-end gaming setups still often pair them with one.
