Intel bounces back on the latest Steam Hardware Survey

AMD has been rising the charts of the Steam Hardware Survey for the past year or so and, for the first time, reached the 30% market share last month. We did expect this trend to go on, considering Intel’s poor form regarding desktop processors.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Intel has again bounced back by gaining as much as 1.72% market share in just a month, which again looks suspicious. Though AMD still holds the top spot in sales, chip shortages did really hurt the Red team.

On the other hand, Intel offers deep discounts on both its 10th Gen and 11th Gen Intel processors; however, AMD is prioritizing its flagship Ryzen 5000 processors over the budget range. Still, Intel-powered laptops are also in more stocks than AMD’s; however, the Red team is trying to make amends in the second half of 2021.

In the consumer gaming Windows PC space, you see both Intel & AMD CPUs have suddenly lost chunks of shares in key areas like the 3.3 GHz to 3.69 GHz range and 3.7 GHz and above range. However, in two key aspects, Intel has gained shares substantially in both the 3.0 GHz to 3.29 GHz and 2.7 GHz to 2.99 GHz range.

This is not abnormal again because we are seeing many people buying older CPUs with lower clock speeds, while it’s surprising, on the AMD front, to lose chunks of shares in the high-performing desktop CPU range.
