Intel Takes back CPU market share at Steam
According to Steam's monthly hardware statistics, Intel first took back a significant chunk of AMD's CPU market share in 2021. In the previous four to five months, AMD's share of the Ryzen market had grown increasingly.
According to Mercury Research, in the first quarter of 2021, AMD also lost market for Intel. However, most of Intel's revenues are generated by low-cost Celeron and Pentium processors and lower Core i3 and i5 in certain situations. AMD's entry-level market was overlooked, mainly because of semiconductor shortages and a concentration on top-end parts with better profit margins. This has also been verified in a recent press presentation by Dr Su (AMD CEO). The chip maker wants to boost its production capacity at TSMC by switching the ps5 to N6 and by phasing out the Apple 7nm devices.
The Steam Hardware sutrvey then. Most of Intel's gains have been made from CPUs between 2.7-2.99 GHz, which implies that versions below the i7-11700K core, including the i5-1150 non-K core, 11600 & 11700 are available. These parts tend, compared with competitors, to be sold at quite inexpensive rates.
Compared to the previous months, the GPU category has been moving significantly. The availability of NVIDIA graphics card series RTX 30 appears after all to be improving. While the most famous SKUs are RTX 2060 and GTX 1060, RTX 3060 (DT and mobile) and RTX 3070 (mobile) have achieved significant increases the last 30 days. Regrettably, none of the RDNA models for June included the top 10 or even 20 GPUs to show how restricted AMD is. RX 6700 XT has recently had its supply increase, however, in the Steam database we have not yet seen it.

I take that with a pinch of salt, perhaps they should show the 4-5ghz cpu`s from Amd and Intel

We talking about more people getting online from lock downs using older devices with Intel CPUs? Or are we seeing an increasing adaptation rate of newer, 10xxxx+ generation, Intel CPUs? Big difference in how the data is being presented. There is nothing in there that breaks down generations.
My CPU is 3.6-4 GHZ and is how many years old now?!

9400,10400 and now 11400 are selling tremendously.

Think Steam fetches baseclock values, apart from that a lot of people (even Zen 2/3) owners recommend Intel atm., most bang for the buck.
AMD really needs to wake up if they want to stay competitive.

Not a suprise , was cheaper alternative to AMD.
