Intel is finally off to a good start with its 12th Gen Alder Lake Desktop CPUs which have seen the highest share since the beginning of 2021 at Germany's largest retail outlet, MindFactory, whereas AMD continues to lead the overall share.

In the latest report shared by Ingebor over at Reddit, Intel has finally broken past the sub 30% share that it has seen since the launch of AMD's Ryzen 3000 and Ryzen 5000 CPU lineup. Intel's Alder Lake CPUs achieved their highest 30% market share thanks to the launch of Alder Lake & discounts on various 11th and 10th Gen CPUs. The Intel lineup was introduced in the first week of November and while there are no major CPU or motherboard shortages, there is still a major DDR5 memory shortage which is making several consumers wait before they upgrade to Alder Lake.
