Forums - PC Discussion - Monthly Steam hardware survey analysis

I wonder what is happening with AMD under Linux:

What could have happened here that the 2.7-3Ghz category dropped by over 10 percentage points in less than half a year and the faster categories rising by roughly 5 percentage points each in the same time frame?



Around the Network

Pretty good month for AMD, with both CPU and GPU gaining quite a bit in percentage, plus finally the 7700XT and 6750GRE 10GB making an appearance



Nice boost for Radeons, also for Ada Lovelace. In a few months, the RTX-4000-series will probably take the lead:

My PC was also scanned for the survey.

Strange results for the display size (it detected 72.25'' instead of 42'') and the second display in standby wasn't detected.



It's strange what it has done with your display. Could it be that it took both monitors as one, adding the sizes of both to get those 72"?

I just wonder what happened here:

I mean, the 2.7-3Ghz were in decline before while the 3.3-3.7 were rising, but what happened here that it went so... abruptly?



Around the Network

Steam survey is broken again:

On the CPU side of things, while the math is off as the totals go above 100%, it's still bad news for Intel, as they lose on all fronts, be it Windows, Linux or Apple. If Intel can't stop the decline soon then AMD may end up with over 50% market share on Steam by end of the year.



Those numbers are actually funny.

Looks like the overcounting issue that hit the Steam Survey in January is fixed for February. Of course, now you'll have to count back to find out what the real numbers for January were...



Okay, here are the numbers:

- RTX Ampere + Ada now almost 50%, RTX total now 57%



Now that I look at it, the Pascal cards has a slower start than the following architectures, yet it went to be the best selling one. With the shortages it's facing for the higher end models, I can see a similar start for Blackwell, tho I doubt it will do as well as the 1000 series.

But of course, that will depend mostly on the 5060 and 5060Ti cards, if they're well prices (which we don't know yet) and the supply they'll get.

Once again, thanks for doing this, Conina.
