Slight recovery of market share by AMD, who manages to bridge the gap to NVIDIA in the graphics card market and Intel in the processor market on Steam.
Although these statistics are worth less than a leading zero and are unrealistic, there are still those who trust the statistics data from Steam. The platform, despite offering irrelevant data, because it eliminates processors and graphics cards, such as the RX Vega, which do not appear in Steam statistics. Despite the fact that the data is quite irrelevant and little can be taken out of it, there is good news for AMD, since after months and months bleeding, it seems that it is starting to regain share in the CPU and GPU market.
Naturally, NVIDIA dominates the GPU market and Intel dominates the CPU market, but AMD this month has regained strength in both sectors. It is not the first month that it improves in both markets, but the thing does not seem to be a punctual rebound. In the graphics card market last month it recovered the double digits, standing at 10.8% and this month it has risen to 14.9%. We must highlight that it comes from an 8.9% share, recovering a 6% share on Steam in just three months, which is very good.
It also recovers in processors, going from 8.1% share in the month of January to 16% market share at the moment, thus doubling its market share in just five months and the good performance of the Ryzen, as well like the arrival of the APUs and the Ryzen 2000 Series with 12nm, they are taking effect and are being noticed in Steam statistics.
As we say, these statistics are not very valid, since a lot of data is missing and there are many AMD graphics that do not even appear and the data of processors are biased by frequencies, not even by model, so the information that can give us It is practically useless. Well, it serves to see a recovery of AMD, of which we are glad.
I read the first paragraph and Roberto got confused. In October of the year
Last time you said that Steam is the most important video game platform (which I don't doubt) and then you added "the data is interesting because it offers us
an overview of the hardware market situation. Now
It turns out that "these statistics are a zero on the left" and "the data
They are irrelevant and little can be learned from them.
What was this change of opinion due to? A little over half a year ago
It seemed like a good idea to get carried away by the statistics of Steam,
Now it seems that you say the opposite.
Has something happened to go from giving it relevance to considering it an invalid survey?
Or perhaps it is the fact that when such a survey appears to indicate that AMD
begins to regain market share becomes, in your opinion, a
poor survey?
I don't think it's the second case, but that change of opinion surprised me.
A greeting.
