40% of something might not seem like much. For AMD in the CPU market, however, that's a bigger percentage than it seems. In the latest Steam Hardware Survey results, the brand has surpassed the 40% usage mark in the processor vendor category for the very first time, which would suggest that more gamers on Steam than ever before are using AMD CPUs in their gaming PCs.
If anything, this goes to show just how dominant brands can be in the PC market. Nvidia, for example, still owns 73.94% of the GPU market (according to this month's results). Even with this landmark result for AMD in the CPU market, Intel is still enjoying a 59% lead. Even if that figure is down -0.75% from last month, it's shrunk down from 62.30% in March, which shows that Intel is being chosen by fewer and fewer gamers in 2025.
