Numbers Don't Lie: AMD Outselling Intel Processors, According To Amazon

Shares of Advanced Micro Devices AMD spiked early Thursday after investors began taking note of Amazon.com, Inc AMZN's list of "Hot New Releases."

The list displays the mega-retailer's best-selling new and future releases. In the "computer CPU processors" category, AMD's Ryzen 3 and Ryzen Threadripper offerings were shown to be outpacing Intel Corporation INTC's Intel Core i7 and i9, respectively.

As of 11 a.m. ET, the two companies split the top 10 spots evenly, but buyers would seem to prefer the low-cost of AMD's Ryzen to Intel's products (the Ryzen 3 shows an Amazon price of $109, while the highest ranked Intel product costs $395.27).

After hitting an intraday high of $13.52, AMD shares were trading lower around $13.32 at time of publication.

Intel shares were nearly unchanged.

Amazon's "Hot New Releases" list is updated hourly.
