Not a single Intel Core Ultra 200S sold at Germany's largest retailer a week after release

Not a single Intel Core Ultra 200S sold at Germany's largest retailer a week after release

A week after the release of the Intel Core Ultra 200S Arrow Lake processors, the largest online PC components retailer in Germany, Mindfactory, hasn't sold a single unit.

At Mindfactory, Intel's processor sales account for only 5%, while AMD dominates with the remaining 95%. A small number of Arrow Lake processors have been sold in U.S. stores like Newegg and Amazon.

The tweet shared includes sales data from Mindfactory for the past week. None of the Core Ultra 9 285K, Core Ultra 7 265K/KF, or Core Ultra 5 245K/KF are listed. The highest-ranking Intel processor, the Core i5-13400, holds only the 21st position, positioned behind AMD's Ryzen processors. Other Intel chips also rank lower, selling around 10 units each.

Approximately 40 Intel sales with an average price of €388 account for 5.19% of Mindfactory’s processor sales. In contrast, AMD's top two chips, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and Ryzen 7 5700X3D, sold 190 and 80 units respectively. AMD's motherboard sales share in the store has increased from 88.65% to 93.75%.

The new Intel processors, particularly the Core Ultra 9 285K, have shown a decline in gaming performance, and it seems the market has taken note. Recently, the 285K has been absent from most American retail stores; the others are available but show minimal sales in just a few units.

As reported by Tom's Hardware, it's an "unfortunate launch of Arrow Lake that can be forgotten in less than a week." This is bad news for Intel, which is currently facing a crisis. An August earnings report reveals a loss of $1.6 billion in just one quarter. The company has gone through layoffs and is scaling back its current efforts to build a factory. Ironically, this factory was planned in Magdeburg, Germany, and was generously funded. It's likely that the Germans, left with an almost abandoned incomplete $30 billion factory, are not thrilled about the idea of purchasing Intel processors.
