| Bofferbrauer2 said: Something is very off with their charts right now. Just look at the CPU charts: The landing page gives AMD 26.91% market share, which would be a plus of 0.4 percentage points over last month.
However, if you click on the chart, it brings up something where AMD lost 2.18 percentage points instead:
Of note is that Intel would have increased in the 2.7-3Ghz category by a whooping 5.33 percentage points, while the 3-3.3Ghz range would raise by 1.8 percentage points, and everything else, both from Intel and AMD, is down. So my thought is that some Asian Cybercafés got counted again, and their older hardware and software is what made made all the more modern systems drop down |
So after some strange December data (f.e. the CPU charts and the huge RTX Turing jump from 12 to 17 percentage points), most charts are back to November levels (plus expected Ryzen gains):
They also changed some December data afterwards (f. e. Turing now shows 16% instead of 17% for December):
RDNA2 and RTX 3070 GPUs are still not shown... but the later released RTX 3060 Ti???
Even if RTX 3060 Ti and RTX 3090 numbers were added, there are probably a lot of new GPUs (RDNA 2 + RTX 3070) hidden in the "other" group, falsely counted as "DirectX 8 GPUs and below":
Probably even some of the RTX 3080 cards, since 1.15% of the surveyed cards have 10 GB VRAM, but only 0.66% are counted as RTX 3080 GPUs:
As a VR fan I'm happy that the downwards trend in the December data seems to be and exception. Now Steam shows a new record: 2.13% of the surveyed PCs have a VR headset connected.
More and more of the hugely popular "Oculus Quest 2"-headsets get connected to PCs for more demanding VR games:
A look to the OS versions shows the still growing dominance of Windows 10 64-bit.
Even Windows 7 64-bit is now down to 2.28%:
