Two Intel chips break Amazon's top 10 CPUs for the first time in months — Core Ultra 7 270K and Core i7-14700K finally challenge AMD desktop dominance
AMD has dominated the DIY space so thoroughly over the last few years that an Intel chip appearing in the top 10 at all is notable, but it's not really that surprising if you look at the details.
For the first time in months, Intel has managed to break into Amazon's top 10 CPUs list, with the Core Ultra 7 270K Plus and Core i7-14700K climbing to the 6th and 9th positions, respectively. This is a significant shift from AMD's long-standing dominance in the market, thanks to its powerful Zen 3 and Ryzen 7 X3D SKUs like the Ryzen 7 9800X3D.
The Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, priced at $290, is a strong contender, offering top-notch productivity and solid gaming performance. While not as powerful as the Ryzen 7 9800X3D in gaming, it still holds its own, showcasing Intel's ability to challenge AMD's desktop CPU dominance.
