This marks one of the company\u2019s strongest positions in years, as Intel\u2019s share slips below 60%. The shift reflects a growing appreciation for AMD\u2019s balance of performance, efficiency, and affordability among gaming enthusiasts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8671\" src=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/z2-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/z2-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/z2-2-600x420.jpg 600w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/z2-2-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/z2-2-768x538.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The momentum is largely driven by AMD\u2019s Ryzen lineup, particularly the X3D and 3D V-Cache series, which have proven exceptional in gaming workloads. These chips offer strong value and long-term platform support, two key reasons why many PC builders now favor AMD over Intel. Steam\u2019s gaming community, known for frequent hardware upgrades, has clearly taken notice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8672\" src=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/z3-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/z3-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/z3-3-600x333.jpg 600w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/z3-3-300x167.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/z3-3-768x426.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While this data is specific to the Steam hardware survey, it highlights how AMD\u2019s innovation and smart pricing continue to reshape the competitive landscape. Intel still holds the upper hand in the broader consumer and enterprise markets, especially in laptops and pre-built systems, but its dominance is showing cracks where performance truly matters.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8673\" src=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/z4-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/z4-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/z4-3-600x375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/z4-3-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/z4-3-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">AMD\u2019s rise in the gaming sector signals a larger trend: the growing power of user choice and technical awareness. As gamers and creators demand more value per watt, AMD\u2019s climb looks less like a spike and more like the new normal. Intel may need more than incremental updates to reclaim its former glory.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8029\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8029\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8029\" src=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ben-footer-jul2024.jpg\" alt=\"B\u00e9n\u00e9dicte Lin \u2013 Brussels, Paris, London, Beijing, Seoul, Bangkok, Tokyo, New York, Taipei, Hong Kong\" width=\"1000\" height=\"379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ben-footer-jul2024.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ben-footer-jul2024-600x227.jpg 600w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ben-footer-jul2024-300x114.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goutanddesign.com\/wpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Ben-footer-jul2024-768x291.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8029\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">B\u00e9n\u00e9dicte Lin \u2013 Brussels, Paris, London, Beijing, Seoul, Bangkok, Tokyo, New York, Taipei, Hong Kong<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>#AMD #Intel #GamingPC #SteamSurvey #Ryzen #TechNews #Hardware #PCGaming #CPU #Innovation<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time : <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>AMD has hit a milestone, surpassing 40% CPU share in Steam\u2019s global hardware survey.
