The most common hardware data on the platform is available on Steam, highlighting the fall, another month, of AMD in terms of market share, in favor of Intel and NVIDIA.

The most important platform in the world of video games, such as Steam, has published a new survey on hardware, in this case the one referring to the month of September. This is data about the users of this platform and about the hardware they use. The data is interesting because it offers us an overview of the situation in the hardware market, which is still dominated by NVIDIA in graphics and Intel in processors, who gain market share compared to AMD, which is losing a lot of strength this month.

If we look at the data of the most used graphics cards on the platform, we find a sharp drop from AMD. This month AMD is left 1.49% (August: 18.63% | September: 17.14%) compared to August, but in August, compared to July, the fall was 1.6%, therefore, The drop is not the most noticeable, but it has been coupled with Intel's specific weight loss in the graphic aspect, which falls 1.08% (August: 13.41% | September: 12.23%), which has caused NVIDIA, seizes a market share of 2.7% (August: 67.62% | September: 70.32%).

We want to emphasize at this point that apparently the data is incomplete, at least that's what we want to think, because we have not found any reference in the graphics field to the RX 500 Series and the AMD RX Vega. This makes us think that the list may not be complete and some data needs to be updated, which would modify the general parameters of the graphics cards. We highlight at this point that in DirectX 12 graphics, the GTX 1050 Ti gains a 1.85% share compared to the previous month, the GTX 1060 gains 1.32%, the GTX 1050 gains 1.03% and the GTX 960 gains 1%.

We made the leap into the processor market, where Intel continues to lead, but in this case the gap with AMD increases. According to the data, Intel goes from a market share of 82.28% in August to 83.47% in September, gaining a market share of 1.19%. AMD logically leaves 1.19% in the processor market, from 17.72% to 16.53% in this month of September. If we look at the number of cores, more common, the four cores is the most normal, with a share of 57.94% with an increase of 0.58%, while the six cores have a share of 1.42% and the eight cores a share of 0.59 %.

Finally, we want to highlight the most common resolutions of the platform, the most common being 1920 × 1080, which has a share of 56.79 (+ 2.51%), highlighting the rise in 2K resolution (2560 × 1440), which has a share of 2.68% with a minimum increase of 0.02%, but it goes up a bit, while 4K resolution (3840 × 2160) is left 0.11%, accounting for a market share of only 0.79%. Virtual reality glasses, on the other hand, do not represent even 0.5% of the platform's users, indeed, HTC Vive and Oculus Rift have a decline in share, which indicates the low interest of users in reality virtual.

NOTE: We want to make it clear that the data regarding AMD, at least in the graphics segment, fills us with doubts, because we have not found any reference to the AMD RX Vega and AMD RX 500 Series, so we are going to take that data with tweezers.
