While most people are stocking up on RAM and hard drives and prices continue to rise, it’s worth summing up some of the key trends of this year.
For example, we can take a look at the top 15 graphics cards currently sold on Amazon.
So, what do we actually see in this ranking? Let’s go through it step by step.
It’s probably best to start with a sensitive topic for everyone — prices.
For instance, a “red team” graphics card, the RX 7900 XT, is priced at €495 and comes with 20 GB of GDDR7 memory.
This price is now comparable to a 32 GB DDR5 RAM kit, which used to be significantly cheaper not long ago — a very unusual situation for the market.
What can we conclude from this?
Memory prices are rising, consumer GPU production is being reduced, yet graphics card prices cannot be said to be skyrocketing — they remain relatively accessible.
In today’s market conditions, a price tag of €495 can even be considered fairly reasonable.
Another notable point is the brand distribution in the list:
4 graphics cards from AMD, 1 from Intel, and the remaining 10 from NVIDIA.
The AMD RX 7900 XT with 20 GB of GDDR7 memory takes first place at a price of €495.
Second place goes to the RTX 5060 8 GB GDDR7, which is particularly notable for being quite affordable.
Third place is occupied by the RTX 5070 12 GB GDDR7.
Further down the list, we still see solid graphics cards, though not as impressive as the top entries.
What’s interesting is that AMD clearly positions itself as a “people’s choice” GPU brand.
Judging by user reviews, a huge number of buyers praise these cards highly.
We have another curious detail
Another curious detail is the graphics card that ended up in last place.
The Intel Arc A310 4 GB GDDR6 ranks 15th in the list, which is rather unexpected.
However, considering the long-standing competition between NVIDIA and AMD in the GPU market, Intel has gradually entered the graphics card segment and has been steadily raising its quality standards.
As many already know, Intel’s processors are no longer the undisputed leaders they once were.
If we look at the top 15 CPUs, it becomes clear that Intel is of little interest to many users today.
While Intel largely sticks to the same approaches, AMD continues to improve its processors generation after generation.
Overall, the results of this year are mostly predictable, with a few exceptions.
AMD has firmly demonstrated its superiority over Intel in the CPU market.
In the GPU segment, AMD has established itself as a strong consumer-oriented brand, offering solid competition in the mainstream market, although it is still less suited for professional workloads.
It’s also worth noting that the top CPU this year is the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D.
