Monthly Steam hardware survey analysis

Yeah, there will probably be a delay and the real adoption of new hardware is even faster.

But there is nothing we can do about that and the shown trend is positive enough.

Yeah, and it's even more noticeable on the CPU side.

If this goes on beyond 2021, then there's a real risk that Intel might drop below 50%, especially under Linux

You know what, I'll make a table for it. I'll update it monthly if I can:

Date	Windows Intel Share	Change	Linux Intel Share	Change
03/2020	78.85		73.79
04/2020	78.28	-0.57	72.69	-1.10
05/2020	77.54	-0.74	71.52	-1.17
06/2020	76.84	-0.70	70.46	-1.08
07/2020	76.27	-0.57	69.06	-1.40

Within 5 months the ratio of Linux computers with Intel inside dropped by almost 5%, which is huge. On the Windows side of things, the change is only half as fast, probably due to the dominance Intel had on the laptop sector until Renoir launched.
