The tide is turning - over 40% of Steam users now have AMD CPUs, according to the latest Hardware Survey | GamesRadar+

Over 40% of Steam gamers now rock AMD CPUs for the first time ever, according to the latest Hardware Survey—Intel’s share has dipped to 59% (from 62.3% in March) even as Nvidia still owns nearly 74% of the GPU market. While the survey samples only a slice of Steam users, the month-on-month trend is clear: more PC builders are choosing red team silicon in 2025.
Why the shift? AMD’s long-standing value play and rock-solid AM4 support make its chips an easy buy, whereas Intel’s 13th/14th-gen processors have been dogged by heat, voltage and warranty headaches. To top it off, Arrow Lake forces enthusiasts into new motherboards—contrast that with AMD’s decade-long socket commitment, and it’s no wonder Team Blue’s crown is looking a bit shaky.
