Intel has seen a significant increase in desktop CPU sales on Amazon, with its market share rising to 21% in August 2026. This marks a notable shift from its previous position of nearly 10% for over a year. The growth is attributed to aggressive price cuts by Intel, which have made its processors more competitive in the market.
The price adjustments have led to the sale of nearly 7,800 units of Intel CPUs on Amazon US in the past month alone. This surge in sales has helped Intel gain ground against its competitors. The Intel Core Ultra X7 358H, a powerful processor with 16 CPU cores and an integrated Intel Arc B390 iGPU, has been a key player in this trend.
The Minisforum M2 Pro Mini PC, powered by the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H, has been tested and praised for its ability to run AAA games while maintaining energy efficiency. This performance, combined with Intel's pricing strategy, has contributed to the increased market share. The success on Amazon suggests a growing consumer interest in Intel's latest offerings.
