Steam Hardware Survey Shows Impressive gains for AMD

Steam Hardware Survey Shows Impressive gains for AMD

There are some interesting movements to see in the Steam hardware survey, AMD is on the move with Ryzen, as numbers are rising in statistically significant numbers. A bit expected as recent earnings indicated already that their sales are on the rise.

The Steam hardware survey shows all relevant technical data from DX adoption to GPU but also market share of processors. The numbers are big, and for anything to move statistical, numbers need to be even bigger.

 

 

When you compare the data with a couple of months ago, AMD has risen in double numbers on the Windows platform, AMD is now touching nearly 16% market share in April, that was a 8% back in January. This new data all is pretty much excluding the new Ryzen 2000 release. It is good to see AMD take back what was once theirs.

 

 

Also interesting is the GPU side of things, here AMD gained share as well. It moved from nearly 11% upwards to 15%. Nvidia drops a bit, but that likely this all is related to GPU shortages due to the crypto mining craze in the past half year.

 

 

On that topic, the Steam numbers obviously only reflect the PC gaming side of sales and market share. How the dynamic is with cryptoming sales in effect, we do not know.

The survey also shows a strong increase in the Windows 10 64-bit adoption rate, 53% of the users has got it installed. Most people still have a four-core processor, however, that is on the decline by 8% in just one month. The majority of people have a GeForce GTX 1060 is dedicated graphics card and 61% of the Steam'ers game at a resolution of 1920x1080.

Fun facts ;)

Good gains from Dec to date. But according to the chart, they're only where they were back In Nov 2016 (Bulldozer era). Still, unmistakable momentum and should continue to improve greatly. I hope they continue to get market share until they're about 50% vs both Intel and Nvidia. Thats when competition (tech advances, aggressive pricing, etc) gets to its finest.

16% is still obviously too little. The market would be far more interesting if the portions fluctuated between roughly 40 and 60 percentages. 30/70 would be a very good start already, but it's a long, long way to even that.

Good to see a change... On the other hand, what the heck are those 0,16% using as video card? Matrox and VIA? Are they still a thing?

I don't really trust the Steam Hardware Survey anymore. The huge bump for Intel and Nvidia in the past was never really explained (some put it down to PUBG in China, but who knows?) and this huge swing the other way is also similarly unexplained. Perhaps it's due to a change in methodology or the way the data is aggregated, but in general, I no longer consider the survey to be a good indicator of the market.
