Chinese computer buyers have turned against Intel's CPUs because they performed badly compared to what was promised. After many people tested Intel's newest "Core Ultra 200S" Arrow Lake chips, they discovered these processors worked much worse than Intel claimed. The company tried fixing problems through software updates but failed to make customers happy. Their previous "Raptor Lake Refresh" processors also suffered from stability issues, forcing Intel to replace thousands of faulty chips. These problems scared away many buyers, who started looking at other options.
AMD stepped into this opening with their Ryzen 9000 series plus X3D processors, grabbing half the market share during early 2025. This marks a huge change for China, where Intel once ruled completely. Computer experts believe AMD will keep growing their lead as Chinese shoppers choose their more reliable chips. Motherboard sales for Intel systems have crashed alongside CPU sales, showing how serious the situation has become. The once-mighty Intel faces a real crisis in a key global market they can't afford to lose. Their reputation among Chinese tech buyers might take years to rebuild after these repeated failures.
