The results of the September hardware survey on Steam show better and better results for AMD processors. Ryzeny is slowly taking more and more users from their biggest competitors, and although Zen at the very beginning was not very popular among players, the situation is changing significantly. Zen 2 managed to bridge the gap in gaming performance compared to Intel processors, thus gaining favor with players. Zen 3 is to bring even greater changes, which are announced to throw Intel from the throne of the king of gaming processors and gain an even greater part of the gaming market.
The latest summary of the Steam survey shows that AMD processors are slowly gaining more and more users. The situation is much worse with the GPU, where AMD hardly exists.
Just before the Zen 3 premiere, which will take place in 4 days, the latest Steam poll shows that AMD has over 25% of respondents. The exact figure for last month is 25.75% for AMD, which means AMD’s share has increased by 0.84% since August. Meanwhile, Intel still holds a huge 74.24% advantage, down 0.85% month-on-month. Despite Intel’s overwhelming lead, AMD has been showing steady growth in the number of Steam users for months, which is likely to accelerate even further when Zen 3 hits the market.
Quad-core processors still have a majority stake in Steam at 45.69%. However, the number of quad-core processors has steadily declined, giving back more and more shares to six-core chips in the last few months. 6-core processors now account for 26.39 percent of the CPUs installed on Steam users’ computers. As for the GPU, AMD is already doing poorly here. The only AMD card that made it into the top ten is the Radeon RX 580 with a 2.22% stake.
