AMD's Ryzen desktop CPUs have been a major success in the Japanese DIY segment so much so that certain retailers have installed vending machines through which you can literally purchase a brand new Ryzen 5000 CPU.
The success story of AMD in Japan goes back to the launch of the Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) CPU lineup which dethroned Intel in terms of market share, dethroning its competitor's more than a decade-old lead. Since then, AMD has clawed away the majority of the DIY CPU share from Intel and holds over 60% share with its Ryzen 5000 desktop CPUs. The Ryzen 3000 CPUs were so popular that we saw people lining up days prior to launch outside famous hardware outlets in the Akihabara retail market.
