Steam survey is meaningless. Its completely random on what is surveyed. In my 24 years of computer use (and since steams origin) i have NOT ONCE been asked to be a part of their survey. And i have built multiple computers. I even bought an AMD based laptop, still never asked. The one time I buy an intel laptop, steam survey asks me to participate. So since steam started their survey, ive only been asked ONCE to participate.
So, is it NOT ONCE or ONCE?

It would be better of steam surveyed parts on every active user once a month. If you are online the day of survey, it should auto submit data. Just have it part of the ToS. It wont hurt anyone. And then it would be accurate. Until then steam survey is meaningless.

I would rather see retailer data on what is bought sold. Going to my local microcenter AMD cpus are sold out while intel is full stock, FULL STOCK. Even the employees say intel isnt selling like they used to. And then for gpus both brands are sold out....

Steam data also says that there was an increase in Windows 7 share, isn't it possible that most of those Intel gains boils down to people accessing Steam for the first time in a while on old PCs? I would rather look at retailers sell data, whenever they're available.

Intel has finally managed to reverse the trend in regard to Steam's monthly report on processor usage. AMD has taken lumps out of Team Blue's share for month after month, but the latest hardware survey from the gaming platform indicates that it's Team Red's turn to suffer from a slump. Price cuts on Comet Lake processors are likely to have helped turn the tide.
