Steam takes more than 3% market share from AMD, contradicting everyone
Our latest Intel and AMD processor sales report, from November, indicated that AMD already held over 60% of the market share in Spain . We are currently working on the new report for December. AMD outsells Intel not only in Spain, but also in Germany, Japan, and other countries.
The market trend is clear, not only because of the good quality and price of AMD processors, but also because of the shortage of Intel processors. Many users even stand in line in stores to buy the new AMD solutions. Even because of the big sales of processors, AMD shares have reached an all-time high.
[amazon box="B07SXMZLP9"]AMD sells processors widely, but it is not reflected in Steam
Steam statistics , Valve's digital store, are often taken as indisputable truth. The truth is, we were curious to know AMD's position on the leading gaming platform. We stumbled upon a rather strange piece of data from December.
We can see that in August AMD had 18.95% market share, in September 19.37%, in October 19.39% and in November 19.45%. A total rise in four months of just 0.5%, a very poor figure. But the devastating data is in December, where Valve lowers AMD's market share to 16.06%, subtracting almost 3.4% of market share and gives it to Intel.
We see that growth in the four months leading up to December of the AMD surge has been very slow and quite poor. The brutal trend change in December is surprising, as it represents a brutal loss of market share. There is no logical explanation for this as one or two tenths of retracement could be explainable, but both is unexplained.
The reality is that Steam stats are worth absolutely nothing. Nobody knows Steam's criteria for sales statistics, but it doesn't matter, because the data doesn't make sense. In addition, the data is divided, in most cases, so that it is impossible to identify the product. In terms of processors, scale by frequencies or number of cores, it does not give processor nomenclature data.
The most accurate summary we can do is to ignore this data manipulated in Steam by Valve.
